lyrics

We sat on the couch so very close
I can taste your cologne of Egyptian Musk
But we were miles apart
We played video games and you taught me how
To get shot by you so many times I couldn’t keep count
But I would try to start

To tell you that I want you
And I need you to hold
Tell you that it’s all you
And I like you a lot, well more than a lot

Chorus:
But it was awkward
The way you looked at me was bliss
Lips askin’ for a kiss it was so
Awkward, the way you held my hand too tight
Something there it wasn’t right, so
Awkward

We watched a movie on a summer night
My head on your shoulder didn’t fit quite right
Cuz we were miles away
We had a lot of fun don’t get me wrong
You taught me how to play lovesongs
But I wanted to say

To tell you that I want you
And I need you to hold
Tell you that it’s all you
And I like you a lot, more than a lot

Chorus

I knew that we would be this way
I just gave in and said that’s okay
I wouldn’t want it any other way
Being awkward with you baby that’s where I’ll stay

The stars are shining and the moon was full
You took half of my heart, made it whole
Even from miles away

Chorus X2
