Lyrics
Hard to read
You could be OCD
You could be bad for me
You could say anything
Sometimes, I get a bit TMI
Little bit scared of heights
Little afraid to say

You know the things that make me smile
The face I make before my tears fall down
The things that I feel when you're acting suspicious
You know the place I run to hide
I take my problems there to work them out

The things that I say when you don't wanna listen
Things that you say when I make bad decisions
Things that we do by the sink in my kitchen
I remember our first date
No chocolate and no bouquet
But the way that you kissed me
These are the things that could make us official

Look at us
Isn't it obvious?
Is it so dangerous?
Is it so complicated?

You know the shapes my body makes
Under the sheets at 4 AM with you
The things that we break when we're switching positions
You know the words to my mistakes
You understand because you made 'em too

The things that I say when you don't wanna listen
Things that you save when I make bad decisions
Things that we do by the sink in my kitchen
I remember our first date
No chocolate and no bouquet
But the way that you kissed me
These are the things that could make us official

All of the things that we sometimes forget
All of the dreams that you put in my head
I'm still asleep when there's breakfast in bed
These are the things that could make us official
Maybe this time might not always be blue
All of my wishes will never come true
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm here with you
This stuff could make us official
So tell all your friends 'cause we're going official

Things that you save when I make bad decisions
Things that we do by the sink in my kitchen
I remember our first date
No chocolate and no bouquet
But the way that you kissed me
These are the things that could make us official

These are the things that could make us official
These are the things that could make us official
I remember our first date
No chocolate and no bouquet
But the way that you kissed me
These are the things that could make us official
