lyrics

You took my hand, and of course I didn’t mind
I hoped that you’d hold it, till the end of the night
Thought I saw your heart, I bet you could’ve seen mine
From a mile away, beating out of time

So give me a moment, I’d like to ask you to dance
I hope that you’ll notice, and give me a chance
With your hand in my own, feels like a knife at my throat
You make me feel like I can hardly stand

(chorus)
I’ll take it on the chin
If you don’t give a shit about me
That’s ok I'm fine
I'm always asking my friend
Why he writes so many love songs
Well now I know why
It’s the way your hair smells when you lean over me
It’s the way your eyes shine all the time
I’ve spent months here asking my friend
Why he writes so many love songs
But now I know why
I know why

But I shouldn’t have waited till the end of the year
Like a dumbass I fucked up, the instructions weren’t clear
All I want to do is talk with you, laugh at kids drinking beer
I should say something while we’re both here
But I won’t cause I fear
What you’ll say
I wish I could be one of those kids drinking beer

That night I wanted you to stick around
I would’ve stayed there forever, would have slept on that couch
We were close enough you didn’t have to speak so loud
But when you laughed with me I loved the sound
when you laughed with me I loved the sound

[chorus]

Because when you laughed with me I loved the sound
