i want to write oceans deep
i've gotta sound so sincere
i'll surely strike a chord
and you'll make your way here
i wanna write words that move
and make your heart skip beats
and if i can't do that
at least you'll tap your feet
if i were to ask would you be willing
to lay right here and watch the ceiling
and stay up late with me
and then we'd kiss till three
and if i should ask would you be happy
to learn these words and sing them at me
take my hand and hold
and show me what you know
i gotta be rational
and take my time with this
i'm making god damn sure
there's not a thing i'll miss
i work with a balanced heart
and never with steady hands
when you're around i can't speak
but i know my songs can
sleep is for the weak
and baby i can stay the weekend
as long as you're with me
i think maybe we can sleep in
i've gotta sound so sincere
i'll surely strike a chord
and you'll make your way here
i wanna write words that move
and make your heart skip beats
and if i can't do that
at least you'll tap your feet
to lay right here and watch the ceiling
and stay up late with me
and then we'd kiss till three
and if i should ask would you be happy
to learn these words and sing them at me
take my hand and hold
and show me what you know
and take my time with this
i'm making god damn sure
there's not a thing i'll miss
i work with a balanced heart
and never with steady hands
when you're around i can't speak
but i know my songs can
and baby i can stay the weekend
as long as you're with me
i think maybe we can sleep in
