[Verse 1]
I see you near the stairs
Your laugh slips through the air
I turn my face too fast
Like you might catch me there
Your hair falls over one eye
And my heart starts to run
I know I should be calm
But baby, I’m undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my hands in my sleeves
Try to breathe, try to breathe
If I say what I feel
Will you stay with me?
[Chorus]
I like you from afar
I like you from afar
You got me blushing hard
I like you from afar
Tell me I’m not alone
Tell me I’m not alone
I’m shaking on my own
Still I’m walking home to you
[Verse 2]
I wrote your name on paper
Then folded it away
Watched you laugh with your friends
And missed my chance again
But every little sign
Keeps pulling me your way
So I took one deep breath
And chose to let it stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my hands in my sleeves
Try to breathe, try to breathe
If I say what I feel
Will you stay with me?
[Chorus]
I like you from afar
I like you from afar
You got me blushing hard
I like you from afar
Tell me I’m not alone
Tell me I’m not alone
I’m shaking on my own
Still I’m walking home to you
[Bridge]
So I said your name
You looked right at me
My voice shook, but I stayed
Then you smiled softly
You said, “I like you too”
And the whole room changed
I was falling, falling
And you felt the same
[Final Chorus]
I like you from afar
I like you from afar
You took my trembling heart
I like you from afar
Tell me I’m not alone
Tell me I’m not alone
You said, “I like you too”
Now I’m falling home with you
