lyrics

Try as I might, my track record’s not the best
Never been one to feel powerless
But in the quiet of the night I can hear my heart
Beating out of my chest
Saying let’s do it please, saying yes

Say I wanna grow with you I wanna
I wanna be home with you I wanna
I wanna build a time machine so I could find you sooner
But more than rewind with you I wanna
I wanna be kind to you I wanna
I wanna say things I mean, so I’ll say them sooner

Let me tell you soon, I wanna tell you sooner
I wanna tell you soon, let me tell you sooner
I wanna tell you soon, let me tell you sooner
Let me tell you soon, I wanna tell you soon

And the way that I feel now, I hope I never get used to it
Never won anything in my life - my whole life
As the days keep passing on, you’ll be the world I orbit
Unafraid, brave when I’m by your side

I wanna stand with you I wanna
I wanna make plans with you I wanna
I wanna rewrite the book so I could find you sooner
But more than delete with you I wanna
I wanna be sweet to you I wanna
I wanna say things I mean, so I’ll say them sooner

Chorus

In the quiet of the night I can hear my heart
See your face in the light like a work of art
I always break pretty things
Next to you it’s dizzying
Wanna tell you
Where do I start

Chorus

Let me tell you sooner
Let me tell you sooner
Let me tell you sooner
Let me tell you soon
I wanna tell you
