When we are face to face

I’ve been writing lines in my head all day

Rehearsing every word I might say

You laugh and the whole world fades

But my courage slips away

You don’t even know the way you shine

Every look, girl, you blur the lines

Between what’s real and what I dream

But tonight I’m gonna try, it seems

'Cause my heart’s beating louder

Than the words I wanna speak

But I can’t keep this feeling

Hiding week after week

There's a hundred different ways for me to say I love you

But when we're face to face I can't think of one

My tongue ties up, my thoughts all run

You smile, and suddenly I come undone

Yeah, there's a hundred different ways, but I just need one

To ask you if you'll be my only one

I’ve written songs, I’ve drawn your name

In notebooks like some silly game

But this isn’t just a crush, it’s more

I’ve never felt like this before

Every time you look my way

It’s like the stars forget to play

'Cause all I see is you and me

And what we’re maybe meant to be

So here I stand, heart in hand

Trying hard to make you understand

There's a hundred different ways for me to say I love you

But when we're face to face I can't think of one

My tongue ties up, my thoughts all run

You smile, and suddenly I come undone

Yeah, there's a hundred different ways, but I just need one

To ask you if you'll be my only one

So if I stutter, if I fall

If I say nothing at all

Just know it’s only 'cause you take my breath away

But I swear I’ll find the words someday

There's a hundred different ways for me to say I love you

But when we're face to face I can't think of one

Still I’m here, and I won’t run

I’m done pretending, done being numb

There’s a hundred different ways, but here’s just one…

Will you be mine, my only one?
