lyrics

How do I say your voice is stuck in my head?
Every melody, they won't stop repeating

For the record, I would love to ask you to dance
And I was hoping you'd say yes
But it's like standing on a cliff with a finger to my back
Just for clarity, it's only for the record

How do I say I knew that this would happen?
It's like I'm watching a car before it crashes

For the record, I was hoping for a better time
Because I know today you're busy
Please forgive me, if you walk out my life
I won't forget it, I'll regret it for the record
for the record

I keep checking my missed calls every hour on the dot
like clockwork meets insanity; losing sleep hoping you'll call

Why do you think the earth and all its madness
is always moving, never stopping for a second?

For the record, I love the way you dance
For the record, you'll never be a burden
It's like deciphering a code to a map you've never read
Or traveling down a road on a journey with no end
It's like standing in the sun so the heat can press your back
Could you humor me, if I say please?
For the record
Just for the record
Just for the record
