Words
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sorry, boy, that loud
Doesn't mean I'm out, but a word could ruin it
Sorry, boy, gotta slow it down
Better shut your mouth, do the talking with your lips
I'm right on the edge
And I know how to swim, but I'm not jumping in
Not scared to get wet
But if we dip our feet, I know we'll go too deep
Don't want a good heart to break
When we're touching
Those sweet little words feel too easy to say
But, but I'm not ready
We don't have to say love
'Cause the words only get in the way
In the way, oh way oh way oh
In the way, oh way oh way oh
In the way, in the way, oh way oh way oh
We don't have to say love
'Cause the words only get in the way
The words only get in the way
The words only get in the way
Like you lots, I just had a thought
We could make it fun, doesn't have to have a name
Everyone puts the pressure on
But we're not everyone
So we don't have to do the same
I'm right on the edge
And I know how to swim, but I'm not jumping in
Not scared to get wet
But if we dip our feet, I know we'll go too deep
Don't want a good heart to break
When we're touching
Those sweet little words feel too easy to say
But, but I'm not ready
We don't have to say love
'Cause the words only get in the way
In the way, oh way oh way oh
In the way, oh way oh way oh
In the way, in the way, oh way oh way oh
We don't have to say love
'Cause the words only get in the way
The words only get in the way
The words only get in the way
Don't want a good heart to break (Oh no)
When we're touching
Those sweet little words feel too easy to say
But, but I'm not ready
We don't have to say love
'Cause the words only get in the way
In the way, oh way oh way oh (In the way)
In the way, oh way oh way oh (Only get in the way)
In the way, in the way
Oh way oh way oh (Only get in the way)
We don't have to say love
'Cause the words only get in the way
The words only get in the way (Get in the way)
The words only get in the way
