You keep repeating the same word (it's just-)
(It's full of consonants) it's the same word
When I was a kid, I always imagined
The person I'd fall for would be good with their mouth
And all the best phrases would always fall out
(What is one down?) Run away to elope (elope)
We'd walk to get coffee on Sunday morning
Then we'd do the crossword and sit on the couch
It's kinda ironic, that's what we have now
We said we wouldn't let it
But somehow this got serious
And you sound so poetic
Saying we're so far from love
You can't say it to my face so
We just try and fill these spaces
What's a nine-letter word for how you feel?
There's a U and I together
But it's missing a few letters
Is it misguided or disguised as something real?
It can't be unrequited
'Cause my feelings are too big
There's so much I wanna tell you
But I don't know if it'll fit
I'm not a kid, so now I can read all
The signs that you give
And into silence between us
There's so much we're leaving unsaid
So give me a pen and I can pretend
That we're writing our future instead of playing
All these games, trying to break the rules
We said we wouldn't let it
But somehow this got serious (this got serious)
And I might sound pathetic
But doesn't this look just like love? (Uh)
I can't say it to your face so
I hope you can fill the spaces
What's a six-letter word for what I want?
There's an over in the center
But I know that's not the answer (hmm)
Under covers, I might never call it love (ooh)
But it's spelled out so clearly
The more you look at it
There's so much I wanna tell you
But I don't know if it'll fit (uh)
Ooh (fill out you're-)
Don't you know (spaces)
It all leads back to you (how long)
Can you say 'em? (Can you be patient?)
Ooh (I always imagined)
Don't you know? (Spaces, still couldn't grasp it)
It all leads back to you
Oh
When I was a kid, I never imagined
That love would be so hard to figure out
It's kinda ironic, that's what I have now
