lyrics

you're no stranger to falling in love
but i'm no runner-up this time
i know that you like someone before
if you want me you better be sure, yeah?

my heart is racing in my ears
do you think about our hotel kiss?
so bad at the small talk thing
dare to say something real?
you leaned in, i leaned in
tucked your hair, went for it
that night we couldn't sleep
just talked forever under the sheets

(guitar break)

you're no stranger to falling in love
but i'm no runner-up

if you want me you better be sure
if you want me you better be sure
if you want me you better be

you better be sure
