I don’t wanna tell you I love you   and watch you wither away, wither away   like a wildflower I picked and it died in an hour   like it knew I stole its freedom   and it’d rather die than live that way         I almost told you I loved you this morning over coffee   but I caught myself   I caught myself   cause if I told you I loved you you might   melt away on my tongue like spun sugar   and disappear      but I don’t want things to change   why can’t they stay the same   don’t wanna clip your wings   those words are heavy things   don’t want it to fade   this lovely thing we’ve made      wait   I wanted to wake you up   I wanted to say this right   but I just lay by your side all night   and watched you sleep   watched you sleep      the world is not your oyster   it’s a coffee shop   and you’re sitting there   trying not to stare   you’re pretending to read your book   but really you’re just watching all the people   it’s a spectacle and you’re there   to catch the air   to catch the air      but I don’t want things to change   why can’t they stay the same   I don’t wanna clip your wings   those words are heavy things   don’t want it to fade   this lovely thing we’ve made      wait   I wanted to wake you up   I wanted to say this right   but I just lay by your side all night   and watched you sleep   I wanted to wake you up   I wanted to say this right   but I just lay by your side all night   and watched you sleep   watched you sleep   watched you sleep
