Whatcha Gonna Do About It

V5.5

[Verse 1] We were barefoot on the blacktop, trading scars and summer plans Sharing secrets on the bleachers, drawing maps out in the sand You were always just my best friend, fireflies in mason jars Never thought about a future, just the way we were, so far [Pre-Chorus] But that night under the porch light, when the whole world slipped away You leaned in without a warning, stole the words I couldn’t say Now every time I close my eyes I see it, clear as morning dew Heart’s been ringing like a shotgun, since you whispered, “me and you” [Chorus] And I’m standing here, my guard all broken Every promise that I made torn open One little kiss turned my whole life true Now I’m in love with you, yeah, I’m in love with you You lit a fuse I can’t put out now I see a ring, a house, a hometown You started something I can’t undo I’m in love with you, whatcha gonna do about it? [Verse 2] We’ve been dancing ‘round the edges, acting like we’re still the same Laughing off the way I’m shaking every time I hear your name You’re still crashing on my couch some nights, stealing blankets, stealing sleep But I’m wide awake and drowning in the feelings that I keep [Pre-Chorus] I replay that crooked smile, the way you pulled me by the sleeve Tasted cherry on your courage, felt your heartbeat on my cheek Now the ghost of that small moment’s grown into this thunderstorm Every memory we’ve ever made is dressed in something more [Chorus] And I’m standing here, my guard all broken Every promise that I made torn open One little kiss turned my whole life true Now I’m in love with you, yeah, I’m in love with you You lit a fuse I can’t put out now I see a ring, a house, a hometown You started something I can’t undo I’m in love with you, whatcha gonna do about it? [Bridge] Do you remember how your hands shook when you pulled me in that night? Said it didn’t have to mean a thing, then held on just a little tight I’ve been living in that moment like a photograph that won’t fade If you want, I’ll build a life there, we can keep the promise we made [Breakdown] ‘Cause I can’t go back to just pretending Can’t unfeel my heart, can’t call this ending I see kids out in the backyard, see your eyes in every dream If we jump we might be falling, but we might just grow our wings [Chorus] Now I’m standing here, my guard all broken Every promise that I made torn open One little kiss turned my whole life true Now I’m in love with you, yeah, I’m in love with you You lit a fuse I can’t put out now I see a ring, a house, a hometown You started something I can’t undo I’m in love with you, whatcha gonna do about it? [Outro] Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do With forever staring back at you? Whatcha gonna say, if I say it too? I’m in love with you, whatcha gonna do about it? Whatcha gonna do about it? Whatcha gonna do about it?
