You make it painful not to fall for you
Even though I know it's against all the rules
You don't see how lovable that you are
But I've always known because I did from the start
I was just living my life and then you happened to me
And when my eyes caught you,
There was nothing else I could see
And I know you didn't mean to take it,
But my heart's in your hands
So if it's all the same tonight, you got any plans?
I want to take you out and make you laugh
And I want to heal all the scars living deep in your past
I want to show you what you look like to me
Something so perfect that I wish you could see.
Sometimes we fall too soon and call it a mistake
But I know just how it feels when you say my name
And I refuse to admit that I'm wrong
For being moved so much that my heart sang a song
So I was thinking we could do something
Me and you and maybe some of our friends
We could smoke and laugh and dream all night
And just pretend
Do you want to stay with me tonight?
We can hang with all of the streetlights
We can go anywhere you want
Or just stay in and hide
Just look at me with those eyes one more time.
Oh, there are so many rules for how it's supposed to be
But what do they have to do with you and me?
I'm just a dumb little girl who developed a crush,
"Silly little thing, don't you dare fall in love."
"Well I'm a punk, so babe, I'll do what I want."
But it gets so fucking hard when all I want is your love
You came and crumbled all these walls around me
And made the prettiest mess I think that I've ever seen.
So I was thinking we could do something
Me and you and maybe some of our friends
We could smoke and laugh and dream all night
And just pretend
Do you want to stay with me tonight?
We can hang with all of the streetlights
We can go anywhere you want
Or just stay in and hide
Just look at me with those eyes one more time.
