lyrics

I always use to think that making hearts skip beats was the cheesiest thing,
But now that I’ve been short of breath for days I think it’s safe to say
That’s exactly what you’re doing to me.

Right when I was starting to think this wasn’t for me,
Like I was barking up the wrong tree,
I got a smile and a wave from you on Newbury St.

Girl you make me wanna get ahead of myself tonight.
I just can’t keep my feet on the ground but that’s alright,
Because I’d wear holes through these shoes just to keep on walking next to you.
Girl it scares me, like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf in the night.
Like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf.

The whirlwind that ensued picked me up and pulled me in closer to you,
Right where I had wanted to be all evening, and I think it’s safe to say
That’s exactly where you wanted me too.

Every time I looked at you, I couldn’t believe
You were real. You were there with me.
We laid under the stars ‘til we were falling asleep.

Girl you make me wanna get ahead of myself tonight.
I just can’t keep my feet on the ground but that’s alright,
Because I’d wear holes through these shoes just to keep on walking next to you.
Girl it scares me, like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf in the night.

While I eagerly wait for the next day I happen to run into you,
My heart spins with possibilities, and I think it’s safe to say that:

Girl you make me wanna get ahead of myself tonight.
I just can’t keep my feet on the ground but that’s alright,
Because I’d wear holes through these shoes just to keep on walking next to you.
Girl it scares me, like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf in the night.
