[Verse 1]
Josephine: Seven years older
Was caught off guard when you asked me to come over
Not really sure what we were hanging out for
I heard you talking in the hall so I listened through the door
Just trying to get a grasp on the etiquette
If you keep touching my knee should I kiss you on the lips?
Never really played with fire like you
I'm like some building burning down
I feel me coming unglued
[Chorus]
Oh, I really want to
Be the one who gets to know you
Better than anyone else
Beats talking to myself
Or is that selfish?
I don't want to sound too helpless
Or too mundane
I can't help it
[Verse 2]
Trying to talk but you're getting caught up
You admit that you probably shouldn't have smoked that much
She says “Can we just lie here
And find a way to kill some time here?”
You started coming down and reminisce about the past
I could see it your eyes, I could tell you want it back
She says “He used to call me ‘baby’
Now he just thinks I'm crazy
And all I want is a moment with someone
Where I don't have to be anything for anyone but myself
We all build our own hell.”
[Chorus]
Oh, I really want to
Be the one who gets to know you
Better than anyone else
Beats talking to myself
Or is that selfish?
I don't want to sound too helpless
Or demented
I can't help it
I can't help it
[Bridge/Outro]
So foolish, I was so tamed
How you called, and I came
Have you ever ran at something head first
And then crawled away
Crawled away
Crawled away
Crawled away
Crawled away
