passing papers
[Verse 1]
Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right?
If I'm not forward I can't possibly get hurt, right?
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight
So settle down
Is it weird I wanna be with you at midnight?
I think you'd look especially lovely in the moonlight
What am I saying? I can't even get my words right
When you're around 'cause

[Chorus]
Smiles are my weakness and I think yours is the prettiest
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you
It's almost entertaining how we're searching for the same thing
But I would never try to see it through

[Verse 2]
Yes I meant it when I said that you were pretty
We never knew each other well and it's a pity
Sometimes I wonder if when you hear '1950'
I come to mind
I had a chance to tell the truth and still I hid it
And I'm too much of a coward to admit it
But I'd totally be down if you were interested
In hanging out sometime 'cause

[Chorus]
Smiles are my weakness and I think yours is the prettiest
And you show it quite a bit when I'm with you
It's almost entertaining how we're searching for the same thing
But I would never try to see it through

[Bridge]
It's 5 am, I'm in my room
I don't intend on telling you
That I haven't slept
'Cause I've been writing this all night
Your picture staring from the shelf
You have me questioning myself
What's gotten into me?
I thought I was alright, but

[Chorus 2]
Smiles are my weakness and I think yours is the prettiest
I wish I wouldn't be so shy around you
And I never expected myself to be so affected
After so much time of doing fine without you

[Outro]
Passing papers is a decent way to flirt, right?
If I'm not forward I can't possibly get hurt, right?
I never trusted the idea of love at first sight
So settle down
