Hypothetically

If I could get you close to me for an infinite amount of time I wouldn’t wanna promise you some perfect fantasy over a lie but wouldn’t mean I wouldn’t try for you to have what you want I’d wanna learn the little things that matter every day to you

What makes you laugh, what gets you mad, what makes you wanna stay with me

If you,d mention that dress you like

I’m remembering which one

If there’s matching earrings, yeah I’m remembering them too just because

Not ’cause I gotta buy your love

That ain’t what I’m trying to do

I just wanna pay attention

To the things that really matter to you

Call me whatever you want

I’m still showing up the same

Whatever you go through

If I get the chance to be your man

I wanna be worth more than that of a name

I just wanna be the best for you

Not better than somebody from your past

Just better than the man I was

And make that difference last

I wanna be the best for you

Someone you can trust when it gets real

I wanna tell you everything gonna be okay

show you how you could feel

I don’t need perfection

I just need the chance to prove

That if you’re giving me your heart

I’ll give the best of me to you

I told you I’ve got history

Pain I sit in for as long as it gets to me

A body that’s not the same as I’ve seen

I know that might make you question “what could I put in.” I guess we’ll see, but you shouldn’t have to lower your standards

Keep ’em exactly where they are

I don’t want an easier version of you

Just cuz I might not be able to work as hard as I use to but shit you make me earn your downtime, Make me earn the place in your heart for the past time you give I’d rather build something slowly

Than watch something rushed go to waste

N I know relationships hate “control”,

But I’m okay if you control me

tell me what you need from me

I’ll tell you what I need to know

don’t make me piece it all together alone We can have our own little world

or live our separate lives

You just gotta tell me what your thoughts thrive I don’t need you changing who you are for me if I’m not in your sights

I just wanna be the best for you

Not somebody talking like he knows it all

I wanna be somebody you can trust

To still be with you when things get rough

I wanna be the best for you

Learn your heart instead of assuming it

N when I make mistakes I’ll own ’em

I won’t make you responsible for fixing them no guarantee where our destiny could move But there’s one thing I can choose

If you give me something real

I’m giving something real to you

I’ve obviously loved before

So I can’t lie and call this my first time

But every person teaches you something

And I’m trying to use what I learned right

I wanna know the real you, not some version that I made inside my mind

I want your good days, your irritated days

Your “leave me alone for a minute” side

Cuz it would always be the best when I can get you to stop crying. I wanna see the sunrises.

The regular nights.

The conversations that go nowhere.

I just wanna be all yours and not worry
