Lyrics
Nervous Laughter
Verse:
Spinning around my head the words are floating
Ever goading me to break out of this self inflicted gag order
Finally here with him where is this going
No where fast if I don't take control and stop being a big coward
I make my way closer to where he is leaning on a chair
It's time for truth or dare
I am clearly so preoccupied as I laugh at his jokes
Cause all I want to know's
Chorus:
What happens after the nervous laughter
Do I keep playing games like this
Or close my eyes and gently kiss him better
than he's ever
Known before or after
Truth or dare and nervous laughter
Verse:
I must admit I've been premeditating
Running into him's no accident, yes, I've become the biggest nerd
Try to be cool, what's up with you, how's it going
Smiling, nodding, hanging on his every single solitary word
Seven seconds of uncomfortable silence fills the air
As I'm twirling my hair
Then I panic as I wonder whether he likes that I'm there
Or if he even cares
Chorus
Bridge:
Don't wanna make him stay locked away in my heart
Where we're perfect
Don't wanna lose my nerve, I deserve something more
Than regret
Verse:
Am I seeing things? Oh, this just can't be happening
Suddenly my life flashes before my eyes and I feel so absurd
Is that really him that's running up to meet me
Looking oh so gorgeous and in love and introducing me to her
Chorus
