[Verse 1]
I hide behind walls you can visit
That's just my defense mechanism
You won't ever hear what I'm thinking
But I might change my mind in a minute

[Pre-Chorus]
Sitting on the pavement
Small talk's easy when you're wasted
What's my hesitation, though?
Drinking Cabernet
That's not really why I'm wasted
I just have to say this, though

[Chorus]
Can I be honest or am I not allowed?
Can I be honest? I really want you right now
People lie sometimes, it's true
Baby, why would I lie to you?
Can I be honest?
I just wanna be honest with you right now

[Verse 2]
If it comes out wrong, you know how to spin it
But once I start, you know I'm committed
Baby, don't stop before I finish
I might take up more than a minute
[Pre-Chorus]
Sitting on the pavement
Small talk's easy when you're wasted
What's my hesitation though?

[Chorus]
Can I be honest or am I not allowed?
Can I be honest? I really want you right now
People lie sometimes, it's true
Baby, why would I lie to you?
Can I be honest?
I just wanna be honest with you right now

[Bridge]
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, yeah
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, ho-honest
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, yeah
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, ho-honest

[Chorus]
Can I be honest or am I not allowed?
Can I be honest? I really want you right now (I want you right now)
People lie sometimes, it's true
Baby, why would I lie to you?
Can I be honest?
I just wanna be honest with you right now
[Outro]
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, yeah
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, ho-honest
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, yeah
I just want, I just want, I just want to be honest, ho-honest to you
