what if we kissed?

lyrics

What if we kissed?
Would that be so bad?
I think I just coughed part of my heart into your hands.
Always embarrassed by my feelings,
But I could be embarrassed now.

I’m too overwhelmed
To even look at your face,
So I focus on the bug scaling your windowpane,
Wandering aimlessly around the glass trying to get back out.

The best-laid plans of mice and men
Don’t work out, so I’m told,
But I’m feeling anomalous today.
You and me, girl, hand in hand,
With gloves on, if it’s cold,
And if we’re lucky then it never goes away.

So back to that kiss:
I was thinking now;
Only so many chances while we’re still both in town,
And I’ve been chewing peppermint gum,
Since breakfast, you know, just in case.

I’m losing my nerve,
So maybe it’s best
If I run into the woods and never come out again.
I’m always embarrassed by my feelings,
I just thought they might all be on break?
Don’t know what I was thinking.

The best-laid plans of mice and men
Don’t work out, so I’m told,
But I think we should take the chance today,
Cause you make every inch of me
Feel like it’s made of silver—
If I’m lucky that will never go away.
I always want to feel this way,
Do you think we could get it to stay
If we kissed?
