lyrics

It started when I first saw her
Across the room I saw the smile on her face
She was the life of the party
And I was floating in outer space

There she goes deep in conversation
Look how her words roll of the tongue
I don't know what she's saying
But it's better that what I've got

Well this is why I stay at home
It's comfortable but all alone
The only life I've ever know
Is living like I'm made of stone
But when I saw her on that day
I knew I couldn't run away
I went and took a leap of faith
Hopefully it's not too late

Just keep breathing and try not to sweat so much
Don't worry what they think, who are they to judge?
There's no need to be afraid
It's alright, it's okay
Oh please, please don't run away
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello

It started while we were talking
I learned how much I love her name
She's sweet and nice and funny
And here eyes set my heart aflame

Well I see sunshine in the rain
But can't see what's inside her brain
I don't know what she thinks of me
Or if it's what I want to see
I've barley said a single word
At least not one she would have heard
But now I think I've said too much
I think she might've had enough

Worrying this much can't be good for your health
You've got to worry about you and no one else
There's no need to be afraid
It's alright, it's okay
Oh please, please don't run away
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello

All these sweet memories that I missed
My first love and my first kiss
Thought I could live them again and again
But it's all spoiled now cause I know how it ends
Love is gone and it's gone for good
Nothing looks the way that it should
I'll just sit here and pray
That tomorrow will be better than it is today

Come outside and let your flesh get burned by the Sun
It's what people do when they have fun
There's no need to be afraid
It's alright, it's okay
Oh please, please don't run away
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
It wouldn't kill you just to say hello
