[Verse 1]
You know that I love you
And I have a feeling that you love me back
We're sat in my bedroom
And I hear your heart like a train on the tracks
Your eyes are like Heaven, your voice is like rain
11:11s, they all hear your name
I'm too shy to tell you the words on my mind
I hope you can see if you read through these lines
[Chorus]
That I wrote this song about you
Something I wish you knew
Something I've tried to say
But now I'll say it straight
I wrote this song about you
[Verse 2]
We drive through the suburbs
And you're playin' all of your favorite songs
You joke 'bout your mother
She can't help but cry when she hears Elton John
You're singing obnoxious, I'm laughing like spring
Your brown racer jacket, my hands through the sleeves
The smell of your perfume is all over me
I can't wash it off, so it's easy to see
[Chorus]
That I wrote this song about you
Something I wish you knew
Something I've tried to say
But now I'll say it straight
I wrote this song about you
[Bridge]
You know that I love you
Is it dumb believing you might love me too?
Yeah
[Outro]
(I wrote this song about you)
(I wrote this song about you)
Now you know that I love you
This Song was written by Conan Gray.

“Brando,
I’m coming back to the suburbs for the summer. I’ve missed you kinda. Not a lot though. P.S. I may have “borrowed” your brown racer jacket for all of the past year. Thanks.
— Wilson”
