lyrics

What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage used to
Cut a wire from a bomb
The kinds of things that you will hear, will resemble
A bottle of wine fermented too long

My mouth is dry, I'm up in the sky,
My stomach's starting to dance
Before I die, I have to try,
I'm gonna take the chance

But oh, there's a risk that you'd go away
We'd lose the friendship we're enjoying right now
But there might also be regret if we throw away
The more-than-friendship we'd be missing somehow

So...
I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk around oval as usual, asking what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together touched my life to the core
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and I want to love you more

Tell me how to get to you
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell what you want me to do

And if you're listening and thinking "Is this song about me?"
Maybe maybe maybe maybe

You are a work of art
I'm captivated by the things that you do
Though I'd be jealous of a man who tries to win your heart
My goal is that he'd envy me too

So...
I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk, and talk, and travel, read, and watch, and figure out what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together proved our friendship true
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and maybe it's time that you knew
I know for certain that I love you, and I hope you love me too
