Dear New Kid

Dear new kid in the city
First thing is you're really pretty
Your eyes are a kind of quicksand
And damn, you've got me stranded

The next thing, is you're a nice one
Repeat my name, the walls are gone
I lose myself in things you said
And we just met, but that accent and that

Cool demeanor on your sleeve
So good at making bad of me
I keep checking over my shoulder
To make sure you're real

Let me. ask you
Has anyone told you
Your face is a miracle?
Are my thoughts getting too in the way?
Did my heartbeat taker the bait? I must be
Falling fast, infatuated
Would you be all mine for taking?
When we met, this is what I hid
Dear new kid, I'll never say I like you

Dear new kid, why don't you tell me
Your story? By the stairwell we
Can trade ours like trading cards
Replay the banter like a record

Dear new kid, all I can think of when
We touch is if we could again
Your laugh is like a new gold
That will never ever get old

That cool demeanor on your sleeve
So good at making bad of me
I keep checking over my shoulder
Can you even be real?

Let me. ask you
Has anyone told you
Your face is a miracle?
Are my thoughts getting too in the way?
Did my heartbeat taker the bait? I must be
Falling fast, infatuated
Would you be all mine for taking?
When we met, this is what I hid
Dear new kid, I'll never say I like you

I'm waiting for the red flags
Cause you have to have them somewhere
Though I haven't caught sight of one yet
I trip on every sentence, on everything I say
But dear new kid, don't say you won't stay.

Let me. ask you
Has anyone told you
Your face is a miracle?
Are my thoughts getting too in the way?
Did my heartbeat taker the bait? I must be
Falling fast, infatuated
Would you be all mine for taking?
When we met, this is what I hid
Dear new kid, I'll never say I like you
