Lyrics
I think I know where this is going
I sense a direction or outcome for our relationship.
When I think too hard about it, it starts showing
Overthinking reveals the likely path.
So I rein myself in between the lines you say
I control my emotions based on your words.
I know you wanna say more
You want to express more than you currently do.
We dance around what's in store
We avoid discussing what lies ahead.
But I'm falling
I am falling emotionally.
I'm not as scared as I used to be (as I used to be)
I am less frightened than before.
That doesn't mean I'm ready either
Not completely prepared, despite reduced fear.
It's at the tip of my tongue, I have to admit
Thoughts are on the verge of expression.
But I don't wanna say it first
I hesitate to verbalize my feelings first.
Oh, I want you to say it first
I desire you to initiate the expression.
You pull me closer by my heartstrings
Your actions draw me closer emotionally.
And they all fall in time, the softness still stings
Despite softness, emotional vulnerability is painful.
So I hold my breath in between the lines I draw
I carefully navigate my emotional boundaries.
I'm starting to erase them
I'm starting to let go of my emotional barriers.
Please trespass though I'm condemned
Encouraging you to trespass despite potential consequences.
'Cause I'm fallin'
I am falling emotionally.
I'm not as scared as I used to be (as I used to be)
Fear has decreased, but readiness is uncertain.
That doesn't mean I'm ready either
Not fully prepared despite reduced fear.
It's at the tip of my tongue, I have to admit
Thoughts are ready to be expressed.
But I don't wanna say it first
Reluctant to speak my feelings first.
Oh, I want you to say it first
Desire for you to initiate the expression.
I'm still as scared as I'll ever be (as I'll ever be)
I am still quite scared.
But bein' scared of feelin' is worse
Fear of emotions is more challenging.
It's at the tip of my tongue, I have to admit
Ready to express, but fear persists.
But I don't wanna say it first
Reluctant to verbalize feelings first.
I don't wanna say it, but it's on my mind
Unwilling to express feelings, but thoughts persist.
So I'll just keep praying you'll make the first move this time
Hoping you take the initiative this time.
I know that you like me, how much, I'm not sure
Uncertain about the depth of your feelings for me.
I want to confess so bad so please just say it first
Strong desire to confess, but waiting for you to speak first.
