[Verse 1]
Underage on the pavement, streetlight as spotlight
Silent block, sidewalk seat
Pulling, picking weeds
Tell me all of it
You downplay the weight by talking quick
While I braid your hair with my hands
Everywhere I look, there is a river
A notebook float that I live on
We gawk and laugh
Our lips are the same color through the blue glass
[Pre-Chorus]
The light just wants to hang around you
Time capsules already sorted through
[Chorus]
And in the girls room, hip to hip
A circle of I admit
I, I just want to hang around you
Do you?
I just want to hang around you
[Verse 2]
I made a magazine
I left off our names
I hid one in the toilet stall
Sprinkled a few in the hall
Stole the book about
Your favorite band
By throwing it out of the school library's window
You said you got a ticket from speeding to see me
That whole summer, we wrote letters like Anaïs and Henry
[Pre-Chorus]
You left some things unsaid
And I liked you more for that
[Chorus]
And in the girls room, hip to hip
A circle of I admit
I, I just want to hang around you
I just want to hang around you
Do you?
[Outro]
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
