lyrics

Here’s to you, my daily neighbor
An arm’s length away; a perfect stranger

I’ll spend more time in your presence
This year than my whole family put together

But i barely know a thing about you
And I know it feels like I’ve never tried to

If I could beat
This crippling anxiety
I bet you and me would have been friends

Here’s to you, my would-be lover
Remember that one time when we smiled at each other?

Just than one shred of attention
Inspired some fifth-grade fantasy of my invention

‘Cause i barely know a thing about you
And I won’t ever have the nerve to try to

If I could beat
This crippling anxiety
I know you would see there’s more to me

If I could beat
This crippling anxiety
I bet you would see how liberated I would be
