[Verse 1]
"How are you?"
I guess we're not even starting with a "Hey"
And right you just look like you're the same
But your face is so pretty
Guess I'll give it a shot
And so I gave it a shot
It's a dream
I can talk to you
And I've only known you for weeks
We're telling secrets through the night and I feel like a teen
Maybe you're not as bad as you seem
As you seem
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I told you something that I never said before
Like how I was terrified in California
And you told me the same
And that's when I knew this wasn't a game anymore
Like how your bones almost came back and took your life
Or how you couldn't even trust yourself to stay alive
But right now, you feel same to me
I can go to you, and I'm so much better, it seems
[Chorus]
You feel like spring
And I love everything that you bring
And I feel like I can tell you anything
But I couldn't bring myself to say "I love you"
So I guess I'm gonna sing
About all of the good things that I miss about you
[Verse 2]
Your voice
It cuts through my worst days like a sword
And your stories about your father, they made me swore
But I'm so happy that you got away
You got away
And we flew
I felt faster than an arrow with you
And I would drown all my friendships just to get a view
They'd paint us and hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares?
Still the Louvre
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I told you something that I never said before
Like how my family never talks about the boys
And you told me the same
And that's when I knew this wasn't a game anymore
Like how you had to leave your own mother's home
And stay with that man that you call your father
You said it was the worst mistake of your life
And I hope I was safe to you
[Chorus]
You feel like spring
And I love everything that you bring
And I feel like I can tell you anything
But I couldn't bring myself to say "I love you"
So I guess I'm gonna sing
About all of the good things that I miss about you
[Bridge]
I apologize
But I didn't wanna ruin
Because for a moment, I felt like I was in love
And now we're ruined anyway, 'cause you won't talk
And my love has gone right down the drain
And boy, I hope you're feeling strong everyday
And I hope that we can talk someday
Talk someday
[Chorus]
But you feel like spring
Warm, stormy and we were blooming
And I love everything that you bring
But I'm terrified anyway
You were always so much smarter than me
And I feel like I can tell you anything
But I couldn't bring myself to say "I love you" then
So I guess I'm gonna sing
About all of the good things that I miss about you
"How are you?"
I guess we're not even starting with a "Hey"
And right you just look like you're the same
But your face is so pretty
Guess I'll give it a shot
And so I gave it a shot

And I've only known you for weeks
