What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage used to
Cut a wire from a bomb
The kinds of things that you will hear, will resemble
A bottle of wine fermented too long
My mouth is dry, my head's in the sky
My stomach's starting to dance
Before I die, I have to try
I'm gonna take the chance
But oh, there's a risk that you'd go away
We'd lose the friendship we're enjoying right now
But there might also be regret if we throw away
The more-than-friendship we'd be missing somehow
So, I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk around the oval as usual, asking what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together
Touched my life to the core
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you and I want to love you more
Tell me how to get to you
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me what you want me to do
'Cause if you're listening and thinking, "Is this song about me?"
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
And oh, you are a work of art
I'm captivated by the things that you do
Though I'm jealous of the man who tried to win your heart
My goal is that he'd envy me too
So, I was thinking maybe later you would wanna go out?
We could walk, and talk, and travel, read, and watch,
And figure out what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together
Proved our friendship true
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, maybe it's time that you knew
I know for certain that I love you
And I know you love me too
I know you love me too
I know you love me too
Pa-rap-pa, pa-rap-pa
