lyrics

You barely caught my eye, I barely had a doubt
Was climbing rooftops, and I was ready to shout

You were between last names, already on your way out
But why not scratch at what it was all about?

You wear your hair straight down, I wanna get you alone
Wear it curly in the morning, I could build you a home
I’m gonna take my time, but I won’t make you wait
I’ll make a wish on the planets I’m convinced you create
Convinced you create...

I stole a kiss one night and giggled like a fool
Felt like a tumbled into a shallow pool
Bathing in your smile, drawn into this duel
Between my heartbeat and all of the rules

And I won’t buy into the heart growing fonder, I swear
You made your mind up, I fell in love on a dare
And I won’t waste my time on the when and the where
Just give me something when you aren’t there


You wear your hair straight down, I wanna get you alone
Wear it curly in the morning, I could build you a home
I’m gonna take my time, but I won’t make you wait
I’ll make a wish on the planets I’m convinced you create

I’ll get my ducks in a row, I’ll bring my soul in tow
I’ll go to New York, my lovely, ‘cause I told you so
And if you can’t keep up, if you’re losing control,
We’re leaving New York, my lovely, ‘cause I love you so
I love you so…

And I was already lost before your destination was set
Running low on reasons to forget
Can’t forget, oh I just can’t forget

You wear your hair straight down, I wanna get you alone
Wear it curly in the morning, I could build you a home
I’m gonna take my time, but I won’t make you wait
I’ll make a wish on the planets I’m convinced you create

I’ll get my ducks in a row, I’ll bring my soul in tow
I’ll go to New York, my lovely, ‘cause I told you so
And if you can’t keep up, if you’re losing control,
We’re leaving New York, my lovely, ‘cause I love you so

I’ll get my ducks in a row, I’ll bring my soul in tow
I’ll go to New York, my lovely, or wherever you go
And if you can’t keep up, if you’re losing control,
We’re leaving New York, my lovely, ‘cause I love you so
I love you so...
