[Verse 1]
What if I’d been the same age as you
Would I have felt like I had something to prove
You grabbed my hips like I was something to fix
Had too much love on my handles

I never asked you to stop
You did a real good job at taking both my hands
Kissing in the back of a cab on 5th Ave
Told me you’re the guy that the girls want real bad
Showered me in all the compliments that made me feel sad

I never said what I thought
And Rowan I think it’s time now to talk
[Verse 2]
I never told my sisters ‘bout you
But you’re starting to feel like an infected tattoo
Remember that day

Stockholm dance
I never asked you to stop
You did a real good job at taking both my hands
Kissing in the back of a cab on 5th Ave
Told me you’re the guy that the girls want real bad
Showered me in all the compliments that made me feel sad
Till all you left was a shell to echo back
Rowan I never said what I thought
And Rowan I think it’s time now to talk
