Don't know what to say, words escaping now
Leaving you to wait, but I know you can wait it out
So I'm taking a step down
Maybe I'll find common ground

I got you face to face (Mm)
Don't wanna bottle up inside, wanna roll the dice
Allow me time to try
I thought about it way too much the last couple of nights
So I'll shed some light

It's easier to say it in a song
Listen up, 'cause it won't take too long
And every time it's slipping off my tongue
My words always come out wrong
And I know it makes you laugh
But if I said it first, would you say it back?
Oh, I don't know (Know, know)
How to say I love you before you go (Mm)

Strangers find their way, if it's really meant to be
'Cause baby, we believe in serendipities
And it's all up to us now (All up to us now)
To see how this all turns out

I got you face to face (Mm)
Don't wanna bottle up inside, wanna roll the dice
Allow me time to try
I thought about it way too much the last couple of nights
So I'll shed some light

It's easier to say it in a song
Listen up, 'cause it won't take too long
And every time it's slipping off my tongue
My words always come out wrong
And I know it makes you laugh
But if I said it first, would you say it back?
Oh, I don't know (Know, know)
How to say I love you before you go (Mm)

How to say I love you before you go
It's easier to say it in a song
Listen up, 'cause it won't take too long
Every time it's slipping off my tongue
My words always come out wrong
And I know it makes you laugh
But if I say it first would you say it back?
Oh, I don't know (Know, know)
How to say I love you before you go
