Shall we kiss on the lips   Or will I say that I'm sorry?   That on any other day of the week I would have asked you back   But tonight I'm a mess   And I'm afraid that you'll worry   And it seems so easy to tell myself that, tell myself that   Tell myself that's true   But I hope it's fooling you      I tried to decide to be good when I'm lonely   But do do 'n do do do, do do 'n do, I care?   When this day is full of things that bring out the worst in me   And we're both aware that I can't help but stare, but stare at you   Can't help but stare at you      And all I need is time   To grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise, but   You're so, you're so beautiful tonight      As stories go, I don't know   I could be your anticlimax   I could disappoint you slowly but surely   And you won't know 'til you try   'Til you dare to waste your time   If I could be the anticlimax of your life      Can we sit side by side and talk about nothing?   Well, any excuse is all that I want right now   And I'm charmed and entertained by all of the strangest things   Hey, you are one   So do your worst, just kiss me first   Then do your worst to me      Oh, 'cause all I need is time   To grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise   But you're so, you're so beautiful tonight      As stories go, I don't know   I could be your anticlimax   I could disappoint you slowly but surely   And you won't know 'til you try (you won't know until you try)   'Til you dare to waste your time   (You won't know until you try)   If I could be the anticlimax of your life       Ba ba, ba ba, ba ba badaba ba ba       As stories go, I don't know   I could be your happy ending   I'm a long shot at the best of times   But then you never know, stay and see   How you might be waiting for me   And stranger things have happened at sea, happened at sea   Happened at sea, oh      Ooh, no no no      All I need is time   To grow up, to grow bored, and to grow wise, but   You're so, you're so beautiful tonight   Oh, you're so, you're so beautiful tonight
