[Verse 1] I catch your eye across the room Heart races, impending doom I practiced lines a hundred times But when you’re close, I lose my mind I stand there frozen, words escape Sweaty hands, awkward shape Every plan just falls apart You’re right there, stealing my heart [Pre-Chorus] Should I wave? Should I try? Should I look you in the eye? Overthink it, oh my my — What if you just walk by? [Chorus] Hi. Hi. Hi hi hi. I just need your reply To make this whole day right Hi — Why is this so hard to say? Hi — I’ve rehearsed it every day Hi hi hi — Okay fine, here goes nothing… HI! [Verse 2] You lean against the wall Laughing with your friends and all I pretend I’m not involved But I trip on protocol Heartbeat double time Sweaty palms, I lose my mind Forget every smooth line Just one word on rewind — [Pre-Chorus] Should I bail? Should I stay? Should I turn and walk away? Or just let the moment fly? One breath and I — [Chorus] Hi. Hi. Hi hi hi. Just butterflies tonight No need for anything more Hi — Maybe you could say it back? Hi — Maybe we could start like that? Hi hi hi — Okay fine, I’m coming over… HI! [Bridge] Maybe I don’t need perfect words right now Maybe getting closer is enough somehow Maybe being braver Is all it really takes Than I was five seconds ago… [Final Chorus] Hi! Hi! Hi hi hi! Hands shaking but I try On the chance you might Say hi hi hi! Hi — That wasn’t so bad! Hi — You smiled back! Hi hi hi — Guess we’re starting something… HI!
