Why Are We Like This?

You tripped into my life

Like a rain drop I did not see falling—

Blushing in your rugby kit,

Now look at us… bumbling.

I text you “Hey,”

Then say “Sorry” five times.

Why are we apologizing

For literally being alive?

You said, "no S-word", I said, “Fine.”

Then I said sorry… about six more times.

You can bench press a full-grown man

But you still panic when you hold my hand.

And your hair’s always in your eyes—

Why is it kind of tragic that it makes me smile?

Why are we like this?

Awkward texts and soft wrist flicks,

Movie nights that end in "I love you”

Hearts racing when our hands touch.

Why are we like this?

I say “sorry”—you say “don’t.”

We break the rules we made,

But we never feel alone.

So maybe, yeah, we’re kind of a mess…

But we’re our favorite kind of wreck

You make me laugh when I overthink,

And I overthink… basically everything.

But when you smile like that,

My brain just blue-screens.

I told you it was okay to not be sure,

That you don’t need to have it all figured out.

Now you're holding my hand in front of people,

And I don’t want to let you go.

Not ever again.

Why are we like this?

Laughing in the school halls,

Screaming about a simple “hi”

Then never wait to reply.

Why are we like this?

Breaking every anxious rule,

But somehow, together,

It all feels cool.

Yeah, maybe we’re still figuring out our plot…

But it's like the weird little story we’ve got.

No saying sorry!

Because love is always worth it.

You're Nick and I'm Charlie.

Everything is easier, when we're talking.

Why are we like this?

Hearts too full, brains on pause.

We don’t have all the answers…

But maybe that’s the cause.

So why are we like this?

Maybe we’re just meant to be—

Your chaos plus mine,

Is perfectly perfect.

Yeah, why are we like this?

Because that's what love is!

What love is for us.
