[Verse 1: Christina Perri]
The sun is filling up the room and I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do, right now?
I wish we would just give up
Cause the best part is falling, call it anything but love

[Chorus 1: Christina Perri & Jason Mraz]
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

[Verse 2: Christina Perri with Jason Mraz]
Please don't stand so close to me, I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now
I'll give you everything I am
All my broken heartbeats until I know you'll understand

[Chorus 1: Christina Perri & Jason Mraz]
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

[Bridge: Christina Perri & Jason Mraz]
And I keep waiting for you to take me
You keep waiting to save what we have

[Chorus 1: Christina Perri with Jason Mraz]
So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

[Chorus 2: Christina Perri & Jason Mraz]
Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long till we call this love, love, love?
