Don't Delete The Kisses
Wolf Alice Lyrics

I see the signs of a lifetime, you 'til I die
I recognize that you are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

And I'm swiftly out, Irish goodbye
I leave without saying goodbye to avoid any awkwardness or confrontation.

What if it's not meant for me? Love
I am questioning whether love is something that is meant for me.

I'd like to get to know you
I am interested in getting to know you on a more personal level.

I'd like to take you out
I would like to go out with you and spend time together.

We'd go to The Hail Mary
I suggest that we go to a specific bar or location called 'The Hail Mary'.

And afterwards make out instead I'm typing you a message
Instead of making out with you, I am writing a message to you.

That I know I'll never send
I am aware that I will never actually send this message.

Rewriting old excuses
I am coming up with excuses to not take action or express my feelings.

Delete the kisses at the end
I am deleting any affectionate or romantic messages at the end of my messages to you.

When I see you, the whole world reduces
When I see you, everything else becomes less important and my focus is solely on you.

To just that room
All of my attention is on you and the immediate surroundings.

And then I remember and I'm shy that gossip's eye will look too soon
I become self-conscious and shy because I am worried that others will gossip or judge me for being too forward with my feelings.

And then I'm trapped, overthinking
I become stuck in my own thoughts and am overthinking the situation.

And yeah, probably self-doubt
I am likely doubting myself and my ability to express my feelings effectively.

You tell me to get over it and to take you out
You encourage me to overcome my doubts and take action by asking you out.

But I can't, I'm too scared
Despite your encouragement, I am still too afraid to make a move or express my true feelings.

And there's the night-bus, I have to go
I am running out of time to make a move or express my feelings because I have to leave soon.

And the doors are closing and you were waving
As I am leaving, you are waving goodbye to me.

And I like you, and I'll never let it show
Despite my strong feelings for you, I am afraid to let you know how I truly feel.

And you won't wait and maybe I won't mind
You may not be willing to wait for me to make a move, and I may not even mind if you move on.

I work better on my own
I may be more comfortable being alone and avoiding the risks and complications that come with relationships.

And now I'm, well, a little bit drunk
I am under the influence of alcohol, which may be causing me to feel more open or emotional than usual.

A few days pass since I last saw you
Some time has elapsed since I last saw you.

And you've taken over my mind
I am constantly thinking about you and cannot get you out of my head.

I'm re-telling jokes you made that made me laugh
I am remembering and sharing jokes that you made that I found funny or entertaining.

Pretending that they're mine
I am pretending that the jokes were my own in order to impress others with my sense of humor.

I wanna tell the whole world about you
I want to share my feelings about you with everyone and make our relationship public.

I think that that's a sign
My desire to share my feelings about you with others is a sign of how strongly I feel about you.

I'm losing self control and it's you
My strong feelings for you are causing me to feel like I am losing control of my emotions and actions.

It really is, one thousand times
My feelings for you are genuine and I feel strongly about them.

I look at your picture and I smile
Seeing a picture of you makes me happy and brings a smile to my face.

How awful's that? I'm like a teenage girl
I feel embarrassed or ashamed of how strongly I am reacting to you, as if I were a teenager with a crush.

I might as well write all over my notebook
My feelings for you are so strong that I might as well write about them all over my notebook.

That you rock my world
You have a profound and positive effect on my life, and my feelings for you are very strong.

But you do, you really do
My feelings for you are genuine and I believe that you truly are special.

You've turned me upside down
My feelings for you have completely changed me and made me see the world differently.

And that's okay, I'll let it happen
I am willing to embrace my strong feelings for you and let them happen naturally.

I'm electric, a romantic cliché
My feelings for you make me feel alive and energized, and I am aware that this is a common or stereotypical feeling associated with romance.

Yeah, they really are all true
The cliches and stereotypes associated with romance are actually very true in my experience.

When we catch eyes in a stupid party
When we make eye contact at a party or gathering that I do not necessarily enjoy, it feels like a special moment.

I know exactly what to do
At that moment, I feel like I know exactly what my next steps should be with you.

I'll take your hand, and we will leave
I will take the initiative to physically connect with you by taking your hand and leaving the party together.

French exit for me and you
We will leave the party quietly and without saying goodbye to anyone, like a 'French exit'.

And now I'm home, a little bit drunk
I am back at home and still under the influence of alcohol, which may be causing me to feel more honest or expressive than usual.

Some things don't change, and I know now
Despite my strong feelings for you and the various scenarios I have imagined in my head, I realize that some things may never change or come to pass.

Me and you were meant to be in love
Despite my doubts and fears, I believe that you and I are meant to be together and experience love together.

Me and you were meant to be in love
I feel so strongly about our potential for love that I repeat this sentiment for emphasis.
