passing papers

Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right
If I'm not forward I can't possibly get hurt, right
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight
So settle down
Is it weird I wanna be with you at midnight
I think you'd look especially lovely in the moonlight
What am I saying, I can't even get my words right
When you're around
'Cause
Smiles are my weakness and I think yours is the prettiest
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you
It's almost entertaining how we're searching for the same thing
But I could never try to see it through
Yes I meant it when I said that you were pretty
We never knew each other well and it's a pity
Sometimes I wonder if when you hear 1950
I come to mind
I had a chance to tell the truth and still I hid it
And I'm too much of a coward to admit it
But I'd totally be down if you were interested
In hanging out sometime
'Cause
Smiles are my weakness and I think yours is the prettiest
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you
It's almost entertaining how we're searching for the same thing
But I could never try to see it through
It's 5 am, I'm in my room
I don't intend on telling you
That I haven't slept
'Cause I've been writing this all night
Your picture staring from the shelf
You have me questioning myself
What's gotten into me
I thought I was alright, but
Smiles are my weakness and I think yours is the prettiest
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you
It's almost entertaining how we're searching for the same thing
But I could never try to see it through
Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right
If I'm not forward I can't possibly get hurt, right
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight
So settle down
