Lyric

The usual road home, a familiar street view

Walking beside him, the older one, it's true

His steady kindness, a comfort that I know

But sometimes, my heart begins a restless flow

At a café, I talk with you, the younger guy

Your innocent smile, it shines so bright in my eye

Does age even matter, maybe not at all?

Such a feeling starts to bloom, answering my call

I hate that I care what others might think or say

But this heart's flutter, I can't make it go away

Just because you're older, should I hold back the tide?

Or should I take a chance and step out, full of stride?

Hey, can you tell? What feelings are inside of me

I want to get closer, be as close as I can be

I want to ask you, but I'm hesitant, you see

So if you're up for it, would you just ask me?

I tell a friend, "Don't go there," that's their plea

But my heart cries out, "I want to try, just you and me!"

An age difference, it's just a number, so I feel

I want to love in a way that makes all of it real

I hate that I care what others might think or say

But this heart's flutter, I can't make it go away

Just because you're older, should I hold back the tide?

Or should I take a chance and step out, full of stride?

Hey, can you tell? What feelings are inside of me

I want to get closer, be as close as I can be

I want to ask you, but I'm hesitant, you see

So if you're up for it, would you just ask me?

I can't just let this be

I don't want to live with regrets, can't you see?

A little courage now, could change everything

Hey, can you tell? What feelings are inside of me

I want to get closer, be as close as I can be

I want to ask you, but I'm hesitant, you see

So if you're up for it, would you just ask me?

What will become of this love, where will it lead?

The future is unknown, a mystery to read

But could I allow myself some hope, at least a little?

Waiting for that one word from you, right down to the middle
