lyrics

Oooh (x4)

Do you wanna be my best friend?
Do you wanna share a mind with me?
Do you wanna meet at my place?
Do you wanna write a story?

Do you wanna be a mirror?
Do you wanna show me who I am?
Do you wanna share your secrets?
Do you wanna find out all you can?

Do you wanna show me what you've been hiding away?
I won't think any less
Underneath your skin
We've been trying to level with the loneliness
Let me in

Oooh (x4)

Do you wanna be my guidance?
Do you wanna let me be yours too?
Keep me company at half past three
Getting tired but we're making do

Do you wanna show me what you've been hiding away?
I won't think any less
Underneath your skin
We've been trying to level with the loneliness
Let me in

Oooh (x4)

I've been feeling like a younger me
Like a flashback to naivety
Like I'm slipping on my self control
Embrace the chaos like it's made for me
People come and people go and so I've been tryna let 'em go
Instead of clinging by the skin of my teeth
Do you know you mean the world to me?

Do you wanna show me what you've been hiding away?
I won't think any less
Underneath your skin
We've been trying to level with the loneliness
Let me in

Oooh (x4)

There's never a good time to say it
There's never a good time
There's never a good time to say it
There's never a good time

Do you wanna show me what you've been hiding away?
I won't think any less
Underneath your skin
We've been trying to level with the loneliness
Let me in

Do you wanna see what I have been hiding away?
Will you think any less?
Underneath my skin
We've been trying to level with the loneliness
Do you want me, want me, want me?
To let you in

Oooh (x8)
