I was fine on my own, every night I slept alone
The distance kept me safe
It's easier to fake the feel than dance around with something real
Promises might break

Then you came along and said that I was different
You were missing something and it felt like we should see
Normally, I'd fall away, your face is a distraction
But I like the way that you're distracting me

Get in the play, running your fingers through my hair
Don't wanna behave, how do you act when no one's there?
Feeling inside, feeling a way, it's different and it's working
Oh, you make me nervous, oh, you make me nervous (hey)
Oh, you make me nervous (hey)

I went home before my friends so I could hear your voice again
But it feels strange to care
I hesitate to say out loud that when I'm drunk and in a crowd
I pretend you're there (you're there)

We watch the helicopters from the top of your apartment
And all I could think is "I don't want to leave"
Normally, I'd fall away, your face is a distraction
But I like the way that you're distracting me

Get in the play, running your fingers through my hair
Don't wanna behave, how do you act when no one's there?
Feeling inside, feeling a way, it's different and it's working
Oh, you make me nervous, oh, you make me nervous (hey)
Oh, you make me nervous (hey)

I'm writing this from your bed while you're in the other room
I like what you do to me, and I wanna tell you soon
Maybe you'll shy away, maybe you'll fall apart
It's hard being honest, but I'm being honest

Get in the play, running your fingers through my hair
Don't wanna behave, how do you act when no one's there?
Feeling inside, feeling a way, it's different and it's working
Oh, you make me nervous, oh, you make me nervous
Oh, you make me nervous
