about

Oval = UP Acad Oval

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, dance
Before I die, I have to try,
I have to take this chance

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

So I was thinking maybe later you would want to go out?
Walk and talk around the 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 tell me tell me tell me tell me how to get to you
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me what I have to do
And if you're listening and thinking "Is this song about me?"
Well, maybe maybe maybe maybe

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

So I was thinking maybe later you would want to 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,
Oh maybe it's time you knew
I know for certain that I love you
And I hope you love me too
