For you to go knocking on her door again
While you hide me in a drawer
To be benched in love
What it was like to become
I want to be able to say that if my eyes shine
It's because I spent the night with you
That it'd been a while since I let my hair down
I held on to the present just like your neck
I want to be able to say if I'm happy
It's not indiscretion nor wanting to show off
Didn't want her to find out
Not with what I say but with who I open my wings to
But who am I kidding?
I already knew how those stories ended
But with you I preferred to make a mistake
Than be left wanting
I want to be able to say that if my eyes shine
It's because I spent the night with you
That it'd been a while since I let my hair down
I held on to the present just like your neck
I want to be able to say if I'm happy
It's not indiscretion nor wanting to show off
Didn't want her to find out
I wish I had common sense
To have been able to stay quiet
And to have realized
That you only wanted to get her back
Don't whisper in my ear again
Because with you I lose my balance
And you make me want to fly
I want to be able to say that if my eyes shine
It's because I spent the night with you
That it'd been a while since I let my hair down
I held on to the present just like your neck
I want to be able to say if I'm happy
It's not indiscretion nor wanting to show off
Didn't want her to find out
