TV

i think that i might kinda be in love

but love is a real big scary thing

there's ups and there's downs

but id drive through a hundred towns

to see you again baby

i know that we're still really young

and we have no clue of how this will end

but maybe if we're lucky

we'll never have to worry

about it ending because you'll always be my best friend

and i really think that you're something else

something different than the fake love that they sell

on TV, yeah you and me

we're gonna show them what it means

to love somebody

im an open book but only for you

even my mom don't know my brain

but you know what i say before

i can even say the words

and you can sense when im in pain

you're the lamp in the room when it's too dark

you're my favorite channel coming in when my whole life was static

im the happiest ive ever been

since you started sneaking in

to my heart and im not being dramatic

and i really think that you're something else

something different than the fake love that they sell

on TV, yeah you and me

we're gonna show them what it means

and i really think that you've got something they don't

is it your kindness, your smile, or your jokes?

i don't know, but im oh so

very sure that i don't ever want to go

i don't wanna go

go away from your side

go away from your mind

go away from your heart

go away from your eyes

i just wanna stay

stay right by your side

stay right here in your light

stay in the warmth of your heart

keep looking into your eyes

and i really think that you've got something they don't

is it your kindness, your smile, or your jokes?

i don't know, but im oh so

very sure that i don't ever want to go
