I look down just as you look up
From the lipstick stains on your coffee cup
And faintly on your breath, I smell cigarettes (Oooh ahh)
Now I can't stay long I don't make enough
And I don't smoke but I would take it up
To fill the empty spaces in your silhouette (Oooh ahh)
Wow
I'm ready to get lost in this
But uhh I don't really do this often miss
I get anxious I'm nervous I'm overly cautious
And these butterflies are steady making me nauseous
So I don't say a word and I still can't complain
Because I should have asked for your number or name
But instead of giving you my phone so you could put it in
All I'm left with is woulda coulda shoulda beens
I get caught up in my head sometimes
Thinkin' about the things that I regret sometimes like
I never should have let you walk away
But next time next time next time I swear I'll know
Exactly what to say
And I'll say
Hey
Crumbs on my face as I lift the tray
When the pilot says he's gonna land the plane
And the wheels touch down in a place I've never been (Oooh ahh)
Well I turned around about three rows back
I swear I must of had a mini heart attack
As I locked eyes with the hottest girl I'd ever seen (Oooh ahh)
Damn
If I ain't sweating then I'm getting pretty close to
Thinking about the ways to approach you, but how am I supposed to
I'm not even dressed my best
I know you probably wouldn't be impressed I guess
So my head's to the ground as I struggle with the nerves
And I'm trying to think of something that I know you've never heard
And when I finally got the courage up to hit you with the words
I looked up to where you were and you weren't
I get caught up in my head sometimes
Thinkin' about the things that I regret sometimes like
I never should have let you walk away
But next time next time next time I swear I'll know
Exactly what to say
And I'll say
Hey
Tell me how I took planes and trains across land and sea
Just to find you right in front of me
And still I couldn't find the balls to ask your name or what you do
So if my fate, or circumstance or destiny grant me another chance
I really pray they do
Cuz I know exactly what I want to say to you
I get caught up in my head sometimes (my head)
Thinkin' about the things that I regret sometimes like (I said)
I never should have let you walk away (never should have let you walk away)
But next time next time next time I swear I'll know (I know exactly what imma say)
Exactly what to say
And I'll say
Hey
