It might be getting late to say what I'mma say
But I'mma say it anyway
I think that you should stay with me tonight
Cancel your flight and be my roommate
Everyday is a date
You know I ain't too good a dog to beg
So sit back and stretch out your legs
I'll show you what real good taste is
You'll be making the craziest faces
But hey, don't worry, we don't have to go there in a hurry
I know how to be patient, I'm a man of moderation
And I know the quiet grace of laying, staring at the stars
With a lover in my arms

I've been hoping to paint your picture on my ceiling
I've been scoping out places where I look good kneeling
I've been trying to become the things you find appealing
I've been dying to tell you all these things I'm feeling

Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue
Baby what to do, but when it comes to you
Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue
Ever what to do, but when it comes to you

Fake it 'til you make it was my favorite thing to say
But I got sick of masquerading, life was basically a play
So I refrain from propagation and abstain from explanation
If you must take a cliche, I'm not afraid to be seen naked
By the vultures and the ravens rampaging our havens
Katie loved the cadence when I sang for May
Oversimplification, complicated relations
It's a hard situation
If it ain't fixed, don't break it even more
By selling me short
I've been warring with my demons just as long as you've been warring with yours
Lord, send this message up to heaven like a prayer
I'm questionably spending, but I swear one day I'll be there

I've been screaming the poem you wrote across the ocean
I've been dreaming of holding you close in a way you won't forget
I've been fighting to understand these strange emotions
I've been writing your first name with my last and that's no shit

Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue
Baby what to do, but when it comes to you
Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue
Ever what to do, but when it comes to you

A hundred years have I been waiting, standing on a pin
Watching like a hawk for your next incarnation
Ever since time's beginning, I've been trying to make you grin
I want us to be the stars in a far-off constellation
Only fools rush in to love, that's common wisdom
But only love can win, that's a true contradiction
And you know they're co-existing, like humans and fish can
If we never stop believing in Christmas, baby
You've been hiding, not confiding something special in me
Why conceal it, why don't you reveal it
You know we're kindred beings
Your soul and my soul are very old friends
You know that's how it's always been
You know it's ever gonna end
So why not be lovers again

'Cause I've been longing to dial your number in the night-time
I've been wanting to light your fire, have you been wanting to light mine
I've been muddying my finest shoes getting into your sightlines
I've been studying how to cook your favorite food, 'cause that's the type of guy I'm

Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue
Baby what to do, but when it comes to you
Maybe I'm a fool, maybe I don't have a clue
Ever what to do, but when it comes to you
Yeah let me know when it comes to you
But when it comes to you
