Give Me a Second!

Wait.

You… WHAT?!

No, no, hold on.

You can’t just SAY that!

Give me a second!

You said it was always me

Like that’s an easy thing to say

I’ve spent forever running circles

Trying to make these feelings go away

I had a thousand clever answers

A hundred ways to play it cool

But you just smiled and said you loved me

And now I’m standing here like a fool!

My heart is racing, words are breaking

Every little thought is shaking

I had everything under control

Until you went and told me yours!

Give me a second, I’m losing my head!

I’m hearing every single word you said

And now they’re bouncing off the walls

Of every thought I thought I had!

Don’t move closer, don’t step away

I need you here, just not that way!

I know it sounds ridiculous

But nothing’s ever felt like this!

I thought you liked somebody softer

Someone graceful, sweet and bright

So I tried to change the subject

Every time you caught my eye

I wrote three songs about my problems

And none of them could tell the truth

Then you walked in with one confession

And made them all about you!

You say you’re scared, well, that’s just perfect

Now we’re both a nervous wreck

But when you reach your hand toward me

I don’t really want to step back

Give me a second, I’m losing my head!

I’m hearing every single word you said

And now they’re bouncing off the walls

Of every thought I thought I had!

Don’t move closer, don’t step away

I need you here, just not that way!

I know it sounds ridiculous

But nothing’s ever felt like this!

What if I’m too loud?

What if I get scared?

What if you discover

I’m not always so prepared?

I don’t know how to do this

I’ve never felt this way

But when I picture tomorrow

I hope you’re there to stay

So maybe I don’t need a speech

Or some perfect melody

Maybe all I need to tell you

Is what you already see

Give me a second… No, I’m ready now

I can’t explain exactly when or how

But somewhere in this beautiful mess

You became the answer I couldn’t guess

So take my hand, I’m terrified

But there’s no place I’d rather hide

I don’t know what tomorrow brings

I only know I want this thing

Ren?

I… really like you.

There. I said it.

…

Stop smiling like that!

You’re making it worse!

…Can I hold your hand?
