I can't make your party, I'm sorry, the truth is Coming down with a cold or coming up with excuses What if I'm early? What if no one else shows? What if everyone that does wishes I would just go? I overthink things... I'm so aware of where my hands are whenever I make a fashion mistake and wear a pocketless sweater Hanging down is absurd, folded up? Much too stern So in the hands of another is probably what I prefer And I believe in broken hearts In awkward love and seeing stars Are we too old to still be passing notes? Take me back to when to kiss you took courage 'Cause it was probably your first and then I had to deserve it Now we kiss in the darkness, we kiss all our friends 'Cause maybe this one will feel like we're 16 again I remember my first love and the day that I fell It took me two years to tell her the way that I felt Now I'm older and I'm more self-assured I'm just a little nostalgic for something a little more pure And I believe in broken hearts In awkward love and seeing stars Are we too old to still be passing notes? Check yes or no It's not a contract you can sign Let's go back to a simpler time Not etched in trees or carved in stone So check yes or no And I believe in broken hearts In awkward love and seeing stars Are we too old to still be passing notes? Check yes or no
