serious

I call you pretty
But it never goes as planned
You think it's funny
I'm just tryin' to be a man
I wanna show you in the best way that I can
That I'm so in love with you
Try to be serious
But you can never tell
It isn't easy to confess how hard I fell
When we've just been friends since the day we met
I don't know what to do

'Cause how can I try to cross all the lines
That we've always had between you and I this soon
If I'm just a friend to you

How can I make you change your mind to see me different?
Wish I could get your eyes on my prescription
'Cause maybe all it takes is the same vision
For me to get your heartbeat going just as fast as mine
'Cause I could be your guy
I see you by my side
But maybe I'm just blind
Or maybe I'm too serious

I try to keep it in my head
But it isn't really goin' well
Feelin' like I gotta meditate
But I can't escape
And now I hate myself
I hate my thoughts
For thinking about you
And I'm thinkin' a lot
'Cause I'm never around you
I would tell you but I don't know how to
Say what I'm feelin'

Now I've been feelin' down
'Cause I feel the distance growin'
Spending more days without you
Don't like where we are goin'
Is it so weird to think that we could be more than friends
Am I just overthinkin'?
Am I not makin' sense?

'Cause maybe I could change your mind to see me different
And I could get your eyes on my prescription
And maybe all it takes is the same vision
For me to get your heartbeat going just as fast as mine
And then I could be your guy
You know I'd keep you by my side
But maybe I'm just blind
Or maybe I'm too serious

La ra, la, ra ra
La ra, la, ra ra
La ra, la, ra ra
I guess I'm too serious

I'd call you pretty
But it never goes as planned
