say it first

(album: oh, how perfect - 2019)

Always been one for
Biting my tongue 'til
Blood starts to fill my mouth
And oh how romantic
We both like to panic
When there's something to talk about

I wanna say you feel the same
I hesitate 'cause I'm afraid you don't
Wish I could get inside your head
And write what we been thinking on a note
I'll say it in the shower
And I'll say it when I'm drunk
I'll remind you every hour how I say it just for fun
I say it when you wake up
While you're putting on your makeup
I always finish last but you know I say it back

You say it
First
You say it
First

Let's pop some champagne
And rip off the band-aid
It's easy when we're fucked up
Now would it be tragic
Would it ruin the magic
If I stole the words off your tongue

I wanna say you feel the same
I hesitate 'cause I'm afraid you don't
Wish I could get inside your head
And write what we been thinking on a note
I'll say it in the shower
And I'll say it when I'm drunk
I'll remind you every hour how I say it just for fun
I say it when you wake up
While you're putting on your makeup
I always finish last but you know I say it back

You say it
First
('cause you know I say it back)
You say it
First
You say it
First
You say it
First

Always been one for
Biting my tongue 'til
The blood starts to fill my mouth
