LYRICS:
Is it safe to say
That I haven't made too much of an impression?
Well anyway,
I built you a palace in my mind that I can't speak into existence
So you'll never know, but
No worries, it's cool
I'm melting all over. I'll try not to get it on you
Your hair looks amazing; nice weather we're facing
I wish when you had a thought, a thought bubble would float above your head
I'd just read it and I wouldn't have to guess
Never know what you are thinking of
And I wish every time I spoke, a time machine would grab me by the head,
Set me back, and reverse everything I said
Never know what I am thinking of
It's safe to say
That I'm overthinking to the point of nonsense
Just yesterday,
You said "hey" and used my name, and clearly that must mean something, or maybe I'm just daydreaming and nothing never means nothing, oh gosh
This stain on my ego is really quite painful to wash
Your heart makes me smile; I'll stay here a while
I wish when you had a thought, a thought bubble would float above your head
I'd just read it and I wouldn't have to guess
Never know what you are thinking of
And I wish every time I spoke, a time machine would grab me by the head,
Set me back, and reverse everything I said
Never know what I am thinking of
If I said what's going on in my brain
Would you freak, fight or flight it?
If I read your thoughts like right off a page
Would I try to rewrite it?
I'm a freak
I'm an awkward little dude, in a weird mood
Always second-guessing, although here I am confessing
And I never should have said anything that day we met
Yeah, I'm upset but I wouldn't fret if we just never speak again
And I wish when you had a thought, a thought bubble would float above your head
I'd just read it and I wouldn't have to guess
Never know what you are thinking of
And I wish every time I spoke, a time machine would grab me by the head,
Set me back, and reverse everything I said
Never know what I am thinking of
