[English]

Few Blue Moons in my veins now

Thoughts I've kept hidden way down

Think it's time I get 'em off my chest

Things ain't gon' be the same now

Can't take back what just came out

Girl, I love you, and I've known it since the day that we met

You say but we're best friends

I say that's the best part

It could be a dead-end, it could be a head start

Before you say goodnight, forget all the reasons

That you wouldn't kiss me, I dare you to lean in

Girl, don't think about what could go wrong

Just think about what could go right

Yeah, maybe we ruin this all or sing it for the rest of our lives

And I don't wanna mess it all up but I don't wanna say we never tried

Don't think about what could go wrong

Just think about what could go right

Oh, what could go right

You move close, then you slow down

Hands don't know where to go now

You're half all in, you're half, what now

But, I can tell you wanna find out

You know, you know we can do that right now

Girl, don't think about what could go wrong

Just think about what could go right

Yeah, maybe we ruin this all or sing it for the rest of our lives

And I don't wanna mess it all up but I don't wanna say we never tried

Don't think about what could go wrong

Just think about what could go right

What could go right? (Whoa, whoa)

Oh, what about what could go? (What about what could go?)

What could go right? (Yeah, what could go?)

You say but we're best friends

I say that's the best part

It could be a dead-end, it could be a head start

Before you say goodnight, forget all the reasons

That you wouldn't kiss me, I dare you to lean in

Girl, don't think about what could go wrong

Just think about what could go right

Yeah, maybe we ruin this all or sing it for the rest of our lives

And I don't wanna mess it all up but I don't wanna say we never tried

Don't think about what could go wrong

Just think about what could go right

Woah, what could go right?

What about what could go?

Woah, what could go right?

What about what could go?
