Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you've just met me
And I've never seen you before
I'll tell all my friends
That I think you're staring
And you say the same to yours
And oh, we'll dance around it all night
And try to open up my mouth
And nothing comes out right
And I wanna fall in love with you again
I don't have to try
It's so easy
Who needs to pretend?
But because it's so funny
Let's just think about it, honey
Let's just fall in love again
I'll call you in three days
Not too soon, not too late
And I'll ask your roommate if you're home
You call me on Thursday
And we'll hang out all day
Then fall asleep on the phone
And oh, I'll hold your hand when we drive
And we'll lose track of all the time
And we'll tell everyone
That we ain't never felt so alive
And I wanna fall in love with you again
I don't have to try
It's so easy
Who needs to pretend?
But because it's so funny
Let's just think about it, honey
Let's just fall in love again
We'll fall disgustingly fast
And we'll stop hanging out with friends
And they'll be so offended
And I wanna fall in love with you again
I don't have to try
It's so easy
Who needs to pretend?
But because it's so funny
Let's just think about it, honey
Let's just fall in love again
Let's just fall in love again

Let's pretend baby
Let's imagine that we're starting over anew
That you've just met me
That we're strangers to each other
And I've never seen you before
We're a clean slate to each other
I'll tell all my friends
I'll spread the word and give compliments
That I think you're staring
I'll express how enchanted I am by you
And you say the same to yours
You reciprocate my admiration to your friends
And oh, we'll dance around it all night
We'll flirt and tease each other playfully
And then I'll follow you outside
I'll pursue you earnestly
And try to open up my mouth
I'll attempt to confess my feelings
And nothing comes out right
But I'll struggle to find the right words
And I wanna fall in love with you again
I want to rediscover the spark we have
I don't have to try
It's effortless being with you
It's so easy
We complement each other naturally
Who needs to pretend?
Why fake it when we have true potential?
But because it's so funny
It's amusing to imagine this scenario
Let's just think about it, honey
Let's entertain this notion, dear
Let's just fall in love again
Let's rekindle our affections
I'll call you in three days
I'll wait a few days before reaching out
Not too soon, not too late
To seem eager but not desperate
And I'll ask your roommate if you're home
I'll seek help to contact you discreetly
You call me on Thursday
You reach out to me later in the week
And we'll hang out all day
We'll spend quality time with each other
Then fall asleep on the phone
We'll chat until dawn and be at ease
And oh, I'll hold your hand when we drive
I'll express my affection physically
And we'll lose track of all the time
We'll have a great time and forget everything else
And we'll tell everyone
We'll proudly share our newfound love
That we ain't never felt so alive
We've never been this happy and fulfilled before
We'll fall disgustingly fast
We'll fall in love aggressively and quickly
And we'll stop hanging out with friends
We'll prioritize each other over socializing
And they'll be so offended
Our friends may feel left out and resentful
