[verse] sitting on the hood while the engine cooled down talking about boys that didn't matter anyhow keeping our hands in our own separate pockets scary to ruin the good thing we had locked in wasted so much time [verse] saw you looking at the side of my face today felt like the air got heavy in a strange way nothing left to say to fill up the empty space finally tired of keeping up the chase scary but it's good [refrain] put your heavy arm around my shoulder now (lean in, lean in) i think we're ready now pulling me a little bit closer (begin, begin) i think we're ready now [bridge] everyone else saw it coming from a mile away years ago acting like strangers just to keep the feeling at bay taking it slow but the summer is ending and i don't want to be lonely when the leaves turn brown [instrumental break] [refrain] take the jump and hope the water is warm enough (deep breath, deep breath) i think we're ready now maybe we are lucky and this is actually love (no regrets, no regrets) i think we're ready now [verse] walk me to the porch light like you always do shivering a little bit standing next to you used to be a handshake and a quick goodbye leaning in for a kiss underneath the dark sky never going back [coda] i think we're ready now (ready now) i think we're ready now (ready now) i think we're ready now (ready now) i think we're ready now (ready now) ready now
