Can I touch you? Is that part of the arrangement?
Where is the line?
Cause I sense you've got one finger on eject
And I can't read your eyes
I don't wanna wait till a moment too late
To tell you what you mean to me
But the second that I speak, we'll wake up from the dream
And you'll seem a million miles away
Can I kiss you? Or are we doomed to dance around it?
Who put up this wall?
If I missed you and breathed a word, I'd be abandoned
How long can I stall?
I don't wanna wait till a moment too late
To tell you what you mean to me
I'll let it ripen on the vine, try to nail the timing
And find out whether you agree
Why you gotta run away?
I don't know what, no I don't know what to say
You don't gotta run away
But I don't know what, no I don't know what to say
I'm afraid my feelings have escaped the lab
They're headed your way
When they find you, will you shrug or will you panic?
How will I explain?
I don't wanna wait till a moment too late
To tell you what you mean to me
But the second that I speak, we'll wake up from the dream
And you'll seem a million miles away
Oh baby, I just want to know what your eyes don't show
I hope I'm keeping you awake
But the precedent you set when you made the threat
It was a bet I never wanted to take
