[Intro] So if you're lonely (ah—) you don't have to show it I could be the one who— (wait— wait—) never says it No, no, no... [Verse 1] I see you laughing Across the classroom light You turn your head and I'm gone from your sight And all the small talk It never comes out right My hands are shaking— (hold, hold) not tonight [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know, I know (yeah I know, yeah I know) If I step too close I’ll choke And it shows, it shows (ah—it shows, it shows) Every word I never spoke [Chorus] I’d say: “I wanna be with you” (oh— oh—) just say it true And I’d say: “Don’t you know?” But the words won’t follow through I wanna be with you (yeah— yeah—) break it through But every time I try I freeze in front of you [Post-Chorus] Hey— hey— Don’t walk away— (no— no— no—) Hey— hey— I’ll say it someday [Verse 2] You drop a pencil I nearly lose my mind I try to help you But leave it behind And all the courage I built up in my head Falls to the silence— (go on— go on) instead [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know, I know (yeah I know, yeah I know) This could change everything But I stall, I stall (ah—I stall, I stall) On the edge of anything [Chorus] I’d say: “I wanna be with you” (oh— oh—) just say it true And I’d say: “Don’t you know?” But the words won’t follow through I wanna be with you (yeah— yeah—) break it through But every time I try I freeze in front of you [Bridge / Breakdown] Take a step— (take a step—) Turn around— (turn around—) Say her name— Don’t back down (oh— hold— hold—) Heartbeat racing Time is wasting Say it now— Say it now [Build] If I— if I— if I— (could just say it) If I— if I— if I— (don’t delay it) If I— if I— if I— (oh just say it now) [Final Chorus] I’d say: “I wanna be with you” (oh— oh—) loud and true And I’d say: “Don’t you know?” Now I’m standing next to you I wanna be with you (yeah— yeah—) see it through No more standing by— I’m finally talking to you [Outro] Hey— hey— (don’t walk away) Hey— hey— I said it today (ah— ah—) To be with you... To be with you...
