Hey Lyrics

Your're kinda loud, and I kinda like it

'Cause I'm kinda loud, and you don't make me hide it

We've even got our friends thinking we're a match

I'm waking up to a text from my mom

She says she's obsessed, and she thinks you're the one

Even got me thinking that you might be too

I got used to second-guessing

You got used to coming second

Just give us a second to unlearn all that we've learned

So hey, tell me that you'll stay 'til the end

'Cause I don't wanna go from being lovers to just friends

So hey, don't you dare to play pretend

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love to fall back out of love with you again

All that I know is what I've seen before

'Cause when I get too much, they just walk out the door

I'm scared to commit

'Cause I don't know if you could resist

You always leave at the first sight of doubt

And I can't even blame you when she broke her vows

Your scared to commit

When nobody's committing to you

I got used to second-guessing

You got used to coming second

Just give us a second

To unlearn all that we've learned

So hey, tell me that you'll stay 'til the end

'Cause I don't wanna go from being lovers to just friends

So hey, don't you dare to play pretend

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love to fall back out of love with you again

Heartbreak is hard, but loving is harder

And giving your heart for probable murder

Can we take the risk?

So hey, tell me that you'll stay 'til the end

'Cause I don't wanna go from being lovers to just friends

So hey, don't you dare to play pretend

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love to fall back out of love with you again
