Scary Things
Dancing with Chocolate-Covered Butterflies: Scary Things Unveiled
Lyrics
I really wish I could be dancing with you
I desire to dance with you.
Only to find you're in another room
Realizing you're elsewhere.
If I could rate the night from one to ten
If I could rate the evening.
How should I quantify standing by the chocolate fountain
How do I measure standing by the chocolate fountain?
Basically all night
Essentially the whole night.
You know I'd say there's butterflies in this stomach of mine
There's nervousness inside, likened to butterflies.
But they're covered all in chocolate like it's Halloween night
But it's covered with a facade, akin to Halloween.
And speaking of scary things
Transitioning to talking about fears.
Can I just say one thing on my mind
Expressing a single thought on my mind.
There's no such thing as playing your cards right
No strategy ensures success.
Or waiting for that perfect moment tonight
Waiting for the perfect moment is futile.
In hindsight, it took a couple tries
Reflecting on past attempts.
To get it all right, but in my mind
Took a few tries to get things right in my mind.
Seeing you under these lights
Seeing you in this setting is impactful.
Maybe next time
Possibly in the future.
Maybe next time
Potential future chance.
I really wish I could be closer, too
Desire to be physically nearer.
Like how you're laughing with your family, and I mean
Observing you share joy with family.
All these things are true
Confirming the truth about these observations.
I wish I could get to know you
Desire to understand you better.
You know I'd say there's butterflies in this stomach of mine
Nervousness likened to butterflies remains.
But they're covered all in chocolate like it's Halloween night
But it's concealed, resembling Halloween.
And speaking of scary things
Continuing to discuss fears.
Can I just say everything
Expressing apprehension about everything.
It's the way that you look at roses
Noticing your mannerisms with roses.
The way you look, but you do not know this
Your unawareness of how you appear.
The way you talk about growing lilacs
Noteworthy way of discussing growing lilacs.
The way that you smiled back
Recalling your smile in response.
It's the way that you look at stars and
Observing your behavior with stars.
The way you lay down and sing 'Chasing Cars' and
Recollecting your singing of 'Chasing Cars' while lying down.
The yellow tape you put on your shoulders
Your choice to signify something with yellow tape.
Gives you a reason not to feel any colder
Providing yourself a reason not to feel colder.
It's the way you say "hello"
Noting the significance of your "hello."
You know it's different when it comes from you
Recognition of the unique impact of your greeting.
Do you go home with the feeling too
Wondering if you also feel the same way.
Honey stay, honey stay
Requesting you to stay.
You know I wake up with the thought of you
Beginning the day with thoughts of you.
Honey stay, honey stay
Repeating the plea to stay.
Shouldn't build my dream 'round you, but I do
Admitting building dreams around you, despite reservations.
It's the way that we fell in love and
Reflecting on the way we fell in love.
The way you gave me love and I gave love back
Reciprocal love shared between us.
I hate to think that we might not be ready
Concern about readiness for the relationship.
Yet this is anything but ordinary
Highlighting the extraordinary nature of the situation.
