[cheering]

>> I know that our clothes are

out of hand.

You guys know the words? Wow.

I hope you know

you're saying baby.

You know all the words to just like

Kevin.

And I know I wrote them knowing you're

standing right here.

One night I was bored in

[music and singing] bed and stalked you

on the internet. It's feminine

[music and singing] intuition.

Always had a vision of us standing like

this. First [music] time

I've been in the bathroom

lights. Look at you getting

drunk on the walls of our style.

Most alive [music]

I've ever

felt. But kiss me and hurt me like you

dropped dead. [music]

And I feel like I might throw up. Left

hook, right punch to the gut. You're so

so pretty boy. I'm paranoid. I'll beat

you up. Yeah, I'd love for you to walk

me home.

If you promise we can go real slow cuz

I've got chewing gum and a bunch of

stuff [music] I'd like to know. Like,

have you ever been to Japan or taken a

night Eurostar to France? I've been

dropping hints all night that I'd love

for you to hold my hand.

And then maybe we can make make out.

Let's go steady. Let's go out. And tell
