[Verse 1] You said my name like a dare I looked away from your stare Spilled my soda on your shoe Now I’m trying not to blue We stood there by the game room door Laughing way too loud, then more You brushed my hand, I missed the cue Now I’m acting like I’m cool [Pre-Chorus] Heart goes bang-bang In my chest, in my chest I rehearse one sentence Then I lose the rest [Chorus] Tape on my sleeve When you look at me Tape on my sleeve I forget how to breathe You make it so hard To play it so smooth Tape on my sleeve I’m a mess around you (Tape on my sleeve) [Verse 2] In the hallway, passing notes Mine had doodles, yours had quotes You laughed at my bad handwriting I pretended that it was fighting At the party, under string lights I said “hey” like ten whole times You said “hi” and then you smiled I was gone for quite a while [Pre-Chorus] Heart goes bang-bang In my chest, in my chest I rehearse one sentence Then I lose the rest [Chorus] Tape on my sleeve When you look at me Tape on my sleeve I forget how to breathe You make it so hard To play it so smooth Tape on my sleeve I’m a mess around you (Tape on my sleeve) [Bridge] Maybe that’s the whole thing Maybe that’s the spark Two kids in the wrong shoes Trying not to fall apart If I trip, if I stammer If I blush right through Maybe that’s the moment That I fall for you [Final Chorus] Tape on my sleeve When you look at me Tape on my sleeve I forget how to breathe You make it so hard To play it so smooth Tape on my sleeve I’m a mess around you (Tape on my sleeve) Tape on my sleeve Say you feel it too Tape on my sleeve I’m a mess around you (Tape on my sleeve)
