If you didn't know I liked you

You're pretty bright

you'll probably figure it out now

Or maybe you think I just like to 

Dress up in white and throw bags of our parents' cash around


Did you know 

I did not like you much 

when we met

What was it? 8 years ago?

You and your friends you had this "we're too cool" attitude 

But I must admit

I was quick to let that go

When you showed up in my doorway

Your wide brown eyes were simply fastened to your feet 

You had one hand behind you, the other hand was holding out 

My favorite sweet thing to eat 

You said...


"I like you, I like you, could you maybe like me, too?"

I like you, I like you, could it really be that simple?


?Cause you know

that I'm just like you

I can get shy

hell, I can shut down

But we're gathering up everything that scares us

We'll divide it by two and you'll see 

There ain't nothing 

we can't shut down


?Cause I like you, I like you, could you maybe like me, too? 

I like you, I like you, could it really be that simple?


Later on when it's quiet 

and everyone we love 

Has made their way home 

Yeah, I know we're gonna be tired 

But at least I know 

I'll finally be alone 

With that boy 

who brought me ice cream 

just 8 years ago

You still make 

everything so sweet

And you paint your pretty pictures of everyone we know 

And nearly everyone you meet

But they pale in comparison

yeah they do 

To your beauty and your grace

Yeah, I know this is embarrassing,

I can almost feel the heat 

rise to your face


?Cause you like me, you like me, you know you like me, too

Yeah, you like me, 

and oh baby I love you

could it really be that simple?
