What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage used to

Cut a wire from a bomb

The kinds of things that you will hear will resemble

A bottle of wine fermented too long

My mouth is dry

My head's in the sky

My stomach's starting to dance, ooh

Before I die

I have to try

I have to take this chance

Oh there's a risk that you'd go away

From the friendship we're enjoying right now

But there might also be regret if we throw away

The more than friendship we'd be missing somehow

So I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out

We could walk around the oval as usual

Asking what life is about

Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together

Touched my life to the core

Maybe I'd tell you that I love you and I wanna love you more

So tell me how to get to you

Tell me tell me tell me tell me

tell me what you want me to do

And if you're listening and thinking

Is this song about me

Maybe maybe maybe maybe

And oh

You are a work of art

I'm captivated by the things that you do

Though I'm jealous of the man who tried to win your heart

My goal is that he'd envy me too

So I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out

We could walk and talk and travel,

read and watch and figure out

What life is about

Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together

Proved our friendship true

Maybe I'd tell you that I love you

And maybe it's time that you knew

I know for certain that I love you

And I know you love me, too
