about

ok ok i knew exactly what i was doing when i wrote this

lyrics

this might be a love song
and i thought i wouldn't write a love song
but here we are
and i think this is sort of a love song

and i haven't seen you in years
but i hope someday we will meet again
and i haven't kissed you in years
and i wonder if we'll ever kiss again
and i wonder if you'd even want to kiss me again
and i'm not sure that i'd even want to kiss you again
well i think i'd like to kiss you again

and i remember when i rejected you
and i'm still not sure that that was the right choice
and i remember when you rejected me
and i wrote angsty poems for months
but i don't mind and anyway
you'd already given me my very first kiss and nothing's gonna take that away

and it's funny the things that we hold onto
and tell ourselves we must never forget
'cause it turns out anyone who gets close to me has to like my stink
and that's just how it is

and there are things that i've meant to tell you
but when I had the chance i didn't say a word
and mostly i just want to thank
and i don't know why that's been so hard
so thank you for checking in
and asking before everything we did
and asking again and asking again and checking in and checking in
you made it seem so natural like that's just what everyone did
and i can't believe that i took that for granted

and i said i couldn't believe that this was happening
and you were visibly upset
you had told me how you felt months before
and i didn't know what to say
cause it's not that i didn't believe you
it's more like the words didn't compute
calling myself unlovable was just how i got by
i never was rejected and i never was surprised
so thank you for that surprise

and maybe someday you'll hear this song
and maybe you'll know that it's about you
and maybe that'll get me off the hook
for all the things that i've wanted to tell you
