Thumb War

[Verse 1]
I’ve got a secret
I’m a bad liar
But I lie about this all the time
I secretly like to start little fights with you

Whether I’m wrong, whether I’m right
You still reply to feed the fire
Don’t give me an answer
Give me your hand
Tell me I’m right

[Chorus]
1 2 3 4
I declare Thumb War
I want you to fight for me
Speak my body language
Understand why I’m so mean
Try and beat me
Drive me mad
Can’t fight it when you touch me like a really good friend
But I’ll take it if a Thumb War is the closest thing to holding your hand

[Verse 2]
We’re in agreement, I can’t believe it
We have this secret but I can’t keep it
You were the sweetest when things got heated
Yesterday you kissed me in the rain

But naming names is taking sides
It's easy not to talk at night
The stars just can’t get quite aligned
And it makes the conflict feel just right

[Chorus]
1 2 3 4
I declare a Thumb War
I want you to fight for me
Speak my body language
Understand why I’m so mean
Try and beat me
Drive me mad
Can’t fight it when you touch me like a really good friend
But I’ll take it if a Thumb War is the closest thing to holding your hand

[Bridge]
And your words just slip
Like your fingers did
You finally admit
You love me
You’ve loved me since we were kids
But the thought that we’re over this
Over rival relationships
I could lie through my teeth
But not through my fingertips

[Chorus]
5 6 7 8
Do you appreciate the mistakes we made?
5 6 7 8
Waiting so long to say it to my face
Lie with me
Make amends
I like it when you touch me like a really good friend
But I’ll take it if a thumb war is the closest thing to holding your hand
