I don't wanna tell you I love you
and watch you wither away, wither away
like a wildflower I picked and it died in an hour
like it knew I stole its freedom
and it'd rather die than live that way
I almost told you I loved you this morning over coffee
but I caught myself
I caught myself
cause if I told you I loved you you might
melt away on my tongue like spun sugar
and disappear
but I don't want things to change
why can't they stay the same
don't wanna clip your wings
those words are heavy things
don't want it to fade
this lovely thing we've made
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
watched you sleep
the world is not your oyster
it's a coffee shop
and you're sitting there
trying not to stare
you're pretending to read your book
but really you're just watching all the people
it's a spectacle and you're there
to catch the air
to catch the air
but I don't want things to change
why can't they stay the same
I don't wanna clip your wings
those words are heavy things
don't want it to fade
this lovely thing we've made
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
I wanted to wake you up
I wanted to say this right
but I just lay by your side all night
and watched you sleep
watched you sleep
watched you sleep
