Naked in Blue Jeans

My heart is beating in my hands
In the back seat of your car
Parked around the corner from my parents' house
I've never done this before

First time for everything
I know the moment's right
So if you asked, I'd say yes
I'd tell you the truth tonight

I've been pretending like I don't care
And pretending it's sparing my feelings
I've been overplaying the nonchalance
'Cause I'm scared of people leaving
But it's becoming clear to me that

I can't fight the urge any longer
To move a little closer
I'll peel back the layers of my facade
I'm gonna let you see me
For who I really am
I'm in your hoodie and my blue jeans yet
For the first time
I'm naked

I finally made it to the river
Why am I still clinging to my shield and sword
It's a habit I'm trying to break
Of preemptively breaking my own heart

In trying to preserve my dignity
I always end up in the same place
But I'd rather wear your sweatshirt than my brave face 'cause

I can't fight the urge any longer
To move a little closer
I'll peel back the layers of my facade
I'm gonna let you see me
For who I really am
I'm in your hoodie and my blue jeans yet
For the first time
I'm naked

I've been pretending like I don't care
And pretending it's sparing my feelings
The truth is that I like you so much
It's a little disorienting
Behind the sassy remarks and sarcastic retorts
There lies a warm, soft truth
What I've been trying to say through twisted logic and words is

I can't fight the urge any longer
To move a little closer
I'll peel back the layers of my facade
Yes, I'm gonna let you love me
For who I really am
I'm in your hoodie and my blue jeans yet
For the first time
I'm naked
