​things he should know (demo)
[Verse 1]
I hope he holds your hair
When you've had too much Sangria in the middle of June
I hope he's always there
To sing Disney duets in the car from Camp Rock 2
I hope he takes the wheel
When you have to park in a multi-storey
'Cause I know how that makes you feel
And, trust me, it's not worth making you so damn worried

[Verse 2]
I hope he's by your side
As you finish The Notebook on a Saturday for the hundredth time
'Cause you always cry
And need someone to say, "it's just a movie, you'll be fine"
I hope he pays attention
To thе tiniest, specific, pocket-sizеd, little clues that you leave in conversation
When you don't wanna make it about you

[Chorus]
These are the things that he needs to know
If he plans to stick around for a while or so
You deserve someone to treat you like gold
You've been holding my hand since we were three years old
And it'll take someone special for me to let go
So, I've made a list of things he should know
[Verse 3]
I hope he writes it all down
When he listens to this and he makes you a cup of tea
Which you only like now
After watching me drink it for a year, or three
I hope he takes you out
And orders you a cider even though you said you wanted a pint
And listens to you shout
When someone makes a joke about your height

[Chorus]
So, these are the things that he needs to know
If he plans to stick around for a while or so
You deserve someone to treat you like gold
You've been holding my hand since we were three years old
And it'll take someone special for me to let go
So, I've made a list of things he should know

[Bridge]
He should know, woah-ohh
He should know, woah-ohh
That you used to get homesick, even if we were just down the street
And, if I need you, you'll be there in a heartbeat
You make your cookies from a packet mix, and don't like peas
You're a genius as math, I think you get it from your dad
You always try to say the right thing when I'm sad
You seem quiet to the people who don't know you like that
[Chorus]
These are the things that he needs to know
If he plans to stick around for a while or so
You deserve someone to treat you like gold
You've been holding my hand since we were three years old
And it'll take someone special for me to let go
So, I've made a list of things he should know
