Love is Awkward (imagine)

Podcast: 

Inspired by one of this week's postsecrets... Enjoy.

The Lyrics:

You be the girl with the heart
I can't resist,
and I'll be the boy with the lips
that you love to kiss.
I'll meet you for fun
at the brook where the sun
can't reach us,
we're the only ones.

Chorus:
It's the awkwardness
of falling in love
that we yearn for.
Shaking hands and quivering bones,
we always want more.
Touching lips,
hiding flowers,
getting lost in the rain for hours,
hearts pumping awkwardness
of falling
in love.

I like your sweat and your skin
when it's on my tongue.
It makes me remember
the feeling of being young.
You hold me there,
and I'll messy your hair.
Love is awkward,
but I really don't care.

Chorus

We both know there's
no such thing as perfection,
maybe that's the reason
for our affection.
It's like the surprise
of rain falling in eyes,
'cause it hurts,
but it feels good at the same time.

Bridge:
It's the awkwardness of
falling in love
that makes me love you.

You be the girl with the heart
I can't resist,
and I'll be the boy with the lips
that you love to kiss.
I'll meet you for fun
at the brook where the sun
can't reach us,
we're the only ones.
