Sometimes I have something to say

And so I want to come to you

And I lay it all out

I have important things on my mind

And I want to tell you

I want to tell you how my heart stopped

It skipped a beat

And I can’t help it

Every single time

we meet

and boy,

when I see you

when I see that hair flip

man, that makes my heart flip

I get this feeling inside

But I can’t fathom the words

I want to tell you that those

sneaky side glances

sends shivers up

and everywhere

but I can’t fathom the words

I want to tell you that you’re the last thing

I’m thinking about

And the first thing on my mind

in the morning

in class

all the time

I want to tell you this

but I can’t fathom the words

Oh,

I want to tell you

that I’ve already named our phantom children

That one’s Johnny,

the second one is Drake.

Man,

I want to tell you we’ve exchanged vows a million times

in my mind…

I know that’s sad,

but man,

I want to tell you so bad.

But I can’t fathom the words.

So as I just peeked

above my test in class

to look over my shoulder

at you across the room

forget this test

I’m writing these words down for you.
