[Verse 1]

His laugh you'd die for, his laugh you'd die for

The kind that colors the sky

Heart intangible

Slips away faster than dandelion fluff in the sunlight

And he's got swirls of passion in his eyes

Uncovering the dreams, he dreams at night

As much and hard as he tries to hide

I can see right through, see right through

[Verse 2]

His voice you'd melt for, he says my name like

I'll fade away somehow if he's too loud

What I would give for me to get my feet

Back on the ground, head off the clouds

I laugh at how we're polar opposites

I read him like a book, and he's a clueless littlе kid

Doesn't know that I'd stop time and space

Just to makе him smile, make him smile

[Chorus]

Oh, why can't we for once

Say what we want, say what we feel?

Oh, why can't you for once

Disregard the world, and run to what you know is real?

Take a chance with me, take a chance with me

[Verse 3]

His kiss you'd kill for

Just one and you're done for

Electricity surging in the air

He drives me crazy, it's so beyond me

How he'd look me dead in the eye and stay unaware

[Pre-Chorus]

That I'm hopelessly captivated

By a boy who thinks love’s overrated

How did I get myself in this arrangement?

It baffles me, too, baffles me, too

[Chorus]

Oh, why can't we for once

Say what we want, say what we feel?

Oh, why can't you for once

Disregard the world, and run to what you know is real?

[Bridge]

In the end, we only regret

The chances we didn't take

I'll be your safety net

So, why not raise the stakes?

And I can hear your heart from across the room

Pulsing through my veins

I know you need this, too

Lie to me all you please

I can see right through

See right through

[Chorus]

Oh, why can't we for once

Say what we want, say what we feel?

Oh, why can't you for once

Disregard the world, and run to what you know is real?

Oh, why can’t we for once

Say what we want, say what we feel?

Oh, why can't you for once

Disregard the world, and run to what you know is real?

Take a chance with me, take a chance with me
