lyrics

the things that I would do to you
if I weren't bent on following rules
the warmth you make me feel, the glow -
I might just even say "hello".

it's true, me and you, we're electricity
<except the part where there's no connection>
I'm always kicking myself like we're saying goodbye
and then we're walking in the same direction

every time you smile it makes my day suddenly an awesome day
I want to be the best for you but we're not friends and you might not even want to

touch me on the shoulder and say "hey are you okay"
i'll say i'm working on it but that day is not today
you've heard of crushes, let's call this a "squish"-
i'm not out for love, i'm just looking for friendship

I'm trying my best not to screw this up as if acquaintanceship had to be maintained!
logic's been defenestrated and i'm throwing myself a million petty complaints

every time you furrow your brow my heart sinks even further down
I want to be the best for you but we're not friends and you might not even want to

It kinda sucks being painfully shy
I can't look anyone in the eye
I think about interactions for days
and conclude that it's better if I just never open my mouth

I have a lot of opinions that I keep to myself
I want to tell you but who knows if you'd listen?
"playing it cool" isn't in my vocabulary -
I hardly know the definition

When I asked and you said okay, I hope you meant it but it's hard to say
I want to be the best for you, but we're not friends and you might not even want to
Every time you furrow your brow my heart sinks even further down
I want to be the best for you but we're not friends and you might not even want to.
