[Verse 1]
I can't make your party, I'm sorry, the truth is
Coming down with a cold or coming up with excuses
What if I'm early? What if no one else shows?
What if everyone that does wishes I would just go? I overthink things...

I'm so aware of where my hands are whenever
I make a fashion mistake and wear a pocketless sweater
Hanging down is absurd, folded up, much too stern
So in the hands of another is probably what I prefer

[Chorus]
And I believe in broken hearts
In awkward love and seeing stars
Are we too old to still be passing notes?

[Verse 2]
Take me back to when to kiss you took courage
'Cause it was probably your first and then I had to deserve it
Now we kiss in the darkness, we kiss all our friends
'Cause maybe this one will feel like we're 16 again

I remember my first love and the day that I fell
Took me two years to tell her the way that I felt
Now I'm older and I'm more self assured
I'm just a little nostalgic for something a little more pure
