Grateful

(Album: Cardboard City - 2020)

I was laying down in the bed
You were in the bathroom cutting your hair
I came in the room and you said
You cannot look but I already did
Felt like I was only under the impression that she loved me

We were lying down on the floor
Kiss in my bed so I could see you some more
Then the ride home's pretty far
No AC, it's pretty hot in the car
Felt like I had something to get off my chest but I was sad then

Maybe I should let you know
If it's too embarrassing
I hope that you will tell no one
I hope that you can sleep it off
Maybe I would let you go
If I hadn't let it show

But I was afraid
Learning to love it lately
Now that you're beside me
I am so grateful
(So grateful)

Now that you're beside me
I cannot [?]
Now that you're beside me
I cannot [?]
Now that you're beside me
I am beside myself

I was only thirteen years old
And I met you always running with friends
You pushed me in the road and I said
"I do not like you" but I was just afraid
She said "I was only under the impression that I loved you"

Then we go to junior high
And you were hanging out with a different guy
We went to the baseball field
And you ran through the sprinkler system (hmm)
You didn't let me know that you liked me back

Maybe I should let you know
If it's too embarrassing
I hope that you will tell no one
I hope that you can sleep it off
Maybe I would let you go
If I hadn't let it show

But I was afraid
Learning to love it lately
Now that you're beside me
I am so grateful

Now that you're beside me
I am so grateful
Now that you're beside me
I am so grateful
Now that you're beside me
I am so grateful
