lyrics

I don't wanna push you away in the process of getting closer to you
I don't wanna push you away that's the last thing I'd intentionally do

Cause I know that you like me you know I like you to
so what's the hurry?

Cause when you go to fast, it's like building a tower of bricks
that's only one brick wide
any trouble that you run into sends the tower tumbling
picking up the pieces of your pride
and, I don't want to fall in love with you
no, I'd rather rise up in love with you
so, i'll lay down the first brick- lets build a foundation
and if you want to, you can lay a brick down to

I don't wanna push you away in the process of getting closer to you
I don't wanna push you away that's the last thing I'd intentionally do

Cause I know that you like me, you know I like you to
so what's the hurry?

Cause you can't expect love to be like a flower constantly in bloom
with no phases of budding or fading, yeah
The petals they may wilt and fall but see
the thing through winter and it will bud again
and I don't want to buy flowers for you
no, i'd rather plant flowers for you
so, I'll lay down the first seed and if you want to,
you can plant a flower, to

I don't wanna push you away in the process of getting closer to you
I don't wanna push you away that's the last thing I'd intentionally do
