Shall we kiss on the lips
Or will I say that I'm sorry?
That on any other day of the week I would have asked you back
But tonight I'm a mess
And I'm afraid that you'll worry
And it seems so easy to tell myself that, tell myself that
Tell myself that's true
But I hope it's fooling you
'Cause I tried to decide to be good when I'm lonely
But doo doo doo doodoo doo doo doodoo, I can't
When this day is full of things that bring out the worst in me
And we're both aware that I can't help but stare, but stare at you
Can't help but stare at you
And all I need is time
To grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise, but
You're so, you're so beautiful tonight
As stories go, I don't know
I could be your anticlimax
I could disappoint you slowly but surely
And you won't know 'til you try
'Til you dare to waste your time
If I could be the anticlimax of your life
So can we sit side by side and talk about nothing?
Well, any excuse is all that I want right now
And I'm charmed and entertained by all of the strangest things
Hey, you are one
Come do your worst, but kiss me first
Then do your worst to me
Oh, 'cause all I need is time
To grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise
But you're so, you're so beautiful tonight
As stories go, I don't know
I could be your anticlimax
I could disappoint you slowly but surely
And you won't know 'til you try (you won't know until you try)
'Til you dare to waste your time
(You won't know until you try)
If I could be the anticlimax of your life
Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba badaba ba ba
As stories go, I don't know
I could be your happy ending
I'm a long shot at the best of times
But then you never know, stay and see
How you might be waiting for me
And stranger things have happened and see, happened and see
Happened and see, oh
Ooh, no no no
All I need is time
To grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise, but
You're so, you're so beautiful tonight
Oh, you're so, you're so beautiful tonight
