[Verse 1]
Bm A
I keep seeing you in my dreams
G F#7 Bm
But I don’t wanna play hopscotch with my heartbeat just yet
A
Too drunk to let go
G
Too sober to forget your face
Bm A G
I’m tryna slow things down, but I’m running mach speed
F#7
But I can’t catch you now, my legs are killing me
Bm A
I’m just not where you’re at in the race
G F#7
And I’m not in the right mind to pick up the pace
G F#7
But if you can just hear me out and wait for me
[Chorus]
Bm A G
I think I could love you
F#7 Bm A G
But I can’t love you right now
F#7 Bm A
I can’t keep kissing you through a chain-link fence
G F#7
And keeping my distance holding your hand
Bm A G
So how
F#7
How can I love you right now?
