## Lyrics

I’ve learned a lot about you

I think I really like you

And it’s wrong but being right’s overrated

We had a blast this summer

And I want no other

But you and me together here right now

And I'm sorry for staring

I couldn't help it

The way you looked

It was overwhelming

And I’m too shy to speak up

But I know if you give me

A chance I’ll try

You’re so beautiful

You caught my eye

And now I can’t stop thinking about you

Could you let me know if I’m wasting my time?

Could you let me know if I’m out of my mind?

‘Cause I really like you

Could you tell me how you feel?

Could you let me know where you’ve been all my life?

Could you let me know if you’ll stay by my side?

‘Cause I want to spend every second

Talking with you

We’ve talked a lot the past few nights

But still I get this fright you might

Think that we’re only here as friends

We went out the other week

And it was almost certainty

That you and I had some sparks fly

And I'm sorry for staring

I couldn't help it

The way you looked

It was overwhelming

And I’m too shy to speak up

But I know if you give me

A chance I’ll try

You’re so beautiful

You caught my eye

And now I can’t stop thinking about you

Could you let me know if I’m wasting my time?

Could you let me know if I’m out of my mind?

‘Cause I really like you

Could you tell me how you feel?

Could you let me know where you’ve been all my life?

Could you let me know if you’ll stay by my side?

‘Cause I want to spend every second

Talking with you

And you’re probably out somewhere with your friends going crazy

And I’m at home wishing you were here with me

And I know that I shouldn’t wait around

But it’s ok

Yeah

Could you let me know if I’m wasting my time?

Could you let me know if I’m out of my mind?

‘Cause I really like you

Could you tell me how you feel?

Could you let me know where you’ve been all my life?

Could you let me know if you’ll stay by my side?

‘Cause I want to spend every second

Talking with you
