Let me take my time
If it's easier, then just decide
Either way, I'm fine
Take out, eat in, then pour us both some wine
Take out, eat in, then pour us both some wine
Push, pull, yes, no
What's on your mind
Push, pull, stop, go
Give it some time
That's ok, that's alright
Let's just promise not to fight
I told you I don't mind
Leave the T.V. on and turn off all the lights
Leave the T.V. on and turn off all the lights
Push, pull, yes, no
What's on your mind
Push, pull, stop, go
Give it some time
Push, pull, yes, no
What's on your mind
Push, pull, stop, go
Give it some time

Disarmed

It all comes down
To these things taking time
Youāre hung up on another guy
Please donāt worry Iāll be fine
Donāt want to say goodnight
But I, think I might
When you touch my hair, I can feel your stare
(Youāve got me disarmed)
I need you now, but I donāt know how
(I didnāt think this far)
I should slow down
And let you kiss my mouth
Youāre so close, but I feel so far
I should slow down
And let you show me how
Youāre so close, but I feel so far away
But Iām here now
You could always change your mind
The right place but the wrong time
I canāt help but apologise
Donāt want to say goodnight
But I, think I might
When you touch my hair, I can feel your stare
(Youāve got me disarmed)
I need you now, but I donāt know how
(I didnāt think this far)
I should slow down
And let you kiss my mouth
Youāre so close, but I feel so far
I should slow down
And let you show me how
Youāre so close, but I feel so far away

I know what you said
But that kiss was a mess
And you were nothing but gracious
I can't make a sound
Breathing in, breathing out
I don't want to let you down again
Again
I can't back down
It's all out now
We're not the same but we haven't changed
How will this play out
I'm breaking down right here and now
I feel like someone else
When I'm with you
With you
I'm just counting the floors from the elevator
Slowing down and touch the ground
Take a step, I'm outside
I'm OK, I'm alright
At least it isn't raining here tonight
Tonight
I can't back down
It's all out now
We're not the same but we haven't changed
How will this play out
I'm breaking down right here and now
I feel like someone else
When I'm with you
With you
I was writing a text
To fix how I left
But you had just beat me to it again
I can't back down
It's all out now
We're not the same but we haven't changed
How will this play out
I'm breaking down right here and now
I feel like someone else
We're not the same but we haven't changed
How will this play out
I'm breaking down right here and now
I feel like someone else
When I'm with you
With you
With you
With you

Why?

Tell me what you wanted from me
When you asked me over
Tell me what you thought we would be
When you moved a little closer
You know I'm not that guy
You know that I'm always gonna ask you twice
You knew that I would do right
You knew and now I'm left wonderingā¦
Why? (Why?)
Why?
Why? (Why?)
Why?
Why think twice?
Why change your mind?
Why let me try?
It makes sense that I
Fell for those eyes
Why?
I'll tell you what I wanted to be
When you asked me over
I'll tell you what I thought you could see
When you moved a little closer
I know that I'm alright
I know that I'm not normally your type
I know that you meant right
But I just think we're both wonderingā¦
Why? (Why?)
Why?
Why? (Why?)
Why?
Why think twice?
Why change your mind?
Why let me try?
It makes sense that I
Fell for those eyes
Why?

I talk too loud, and I know Iām too proud to admit it
Admit it
I say too much, and I know you give up but just listen
Listen
I know we talk about it
Know weāve talked about it
But you canāt keep bringing me down
No, you canāt keep bringing me down
Donāt turn around, no, donāt you walk out
Let me finish, finish
I just think that sometimes weāre gonna regret this
Regret this
I know we talk about it
Know weāve talked about it
But you canāt keep bringing me down
No, you canāt keep bringing me down
I know just I said and God knows that I meant it
I meant it, I meant it
I know that you donāt mean that, know you donāt mean that
Do you mean that?
You donāt mean that
Do you really mean that?
You donāt mean that
But you canāt keep bringing me down
No, you canāt keep bringing me down

Sunday morning close my eyes
I know that I'll be alright
The curtains in my bedroom
Can't keep out the light
I know that you're listening
But I just can't say a thing
Cause everything's embarrassing
I told you I'd be fine
I told you I'd be fine
I'm fine
I think I should step outside
My head still hurts my throat feels dry
The people in the stairway
Just nod and pass me by
I know that you're listening
But I just can't say a thing
Cause everything's embarrassing
I told you I'd be fine
I told you I'd be fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
You're right
You're right

Overthinking

I've got something to say before we get into it
I just need you to be, I need you to be honest
I could say I don't mind, but you know that I can't
When things change overnight, it leaves me thinking
I lost someone to love
Yeah, I lost a friend
Here's to doing things wrong
Let's not do them again
When the words I sing stop
It feels like this will end
Am I saying too much?
Am I overthinking?
I know this shouldn't hurt
I know that you don't want it to, but it does
Oh, it does
I know this shouldn't hurt
I know that you don't want it to, but it does
Oh, it does
I lost someone to love
Yeah, I lost a friend
Here's to doing things wrong
Let's not do them again
When the words I sing stop
It feels like this will end
Am I saying too much?
Am I overthinking?
I lost someone to love
I don't want to lose a friend

I love it when we get the chance to talk like this
I like hearing about your family and what you were like as a kid
I wish that we could talk a little more often
Cause it feels like you know me and I want to know you back
And you should take your time
Cause you are right to be guarded
And you should take your time
And know that I want to be a friend
I love the way you look down from a compliment
As if you already knew that, you just like that I gave in
And you should take your time
Cause you are right to be guarded
And you should take your time
And know that I want to be a friend
But this feeling in my chest, I canāt get over it
I donāt know if I want to yet
But what am I holding onto?
What am I holding onto?
What am I holding onļ¾what am I holding onto?
Is there anything left?
And you should take your time
Cause you are right to be guarded
And you should take your time
And know that I want to be a friend
