Would You Rather

Testo

[Verse 1] Would you rather stay up talking Till the morning finds us awake, Or tell me we should go to sleep Then give it one more hour anyway? Would you rather make me laugh When I'm trying hard to stay mad, Or give me that look across the room That makes behaving pretty damn bad? Would you rather kiss me in the kitchen, Or somewhere nobody can see? Would you rather tell me what you're thinking, Or keep making me guess what you mean? Okay, your turn. And don't take forever. You know I hate when you cheat At would you rather. [Pre-Chorus] Would you rather I stop flirting? Would you rather I behave? Would you rather I quit looking at you In that very particular way? Think carefully, Jed. 'Cause I've known you long enough To know when you're lying. [Chorus] Would you rather kiss me on the couch, Or pull me closer standing up? Would you rather blame it on the moment, Or admit you've thought about us? Would you rather call me trouble, Or admit you like me that way? Would you rather have me keep my distance? Careful what you say. Give me A or B, I'll answer anything you ask me. But if the question is who I want When the whole damn world goes crazy— That's the easiest one you've got. You. I'd rather. [Verse 2] Would you rather get my call at two a.m. When everything's gone wrong, Or two in the afternoon 'Cause I heard something stupid And you're the one I wanted to tell? Would you rather have one reckless night Where we forget we're supposed to think, Or a thousand boring Tuesdays Laughing over absolutely nothing? Would you rather feel my head on your shoulder Or my legs tangled up with yours? Would you rather keep pretending You don't know what all this flirting's for? Would you rather I say it? Fine. I want you. Happy now? Don't get cocky. I'm still winning this game. [Chorus] Would you rather kiss me slow, Or make me wonder when you will? Would you rather know exactly what I want, Or keep enjoying knowing still? Would you rather call this chemistry, Bad timing, friendship, something more? Would you rather leave it undefined And see what we're walking toward? Give me A or B, Give me impossible or never. Ask me who I'd choose to talk to When I can't hold myself together. Still you. I'd rather. [Bridge] Okay. One serious one. Would you rather know I love you Even if you can't give it back, Or have me hide it underneath the jokes And never tell you that? Would you rather have the girl who wants you Or the friend who knows your heart? The one who'd love to get too close to you Or the one who won't disappear When life gets hard? Don't answer. That was a trick question. They're both me. I can want your hands on me And still want something more— To be the person you call first, The one who knows what your silence is for. And if all I'm ever allowed to keep Is the best friend I've found in you, Jed... I'd still choose that. Every time. [Final Chorus] So would you rather kiss me in the kitchen Or laugh with me until we're old? Would you rather have the heat between us Or somebody who won't let go? Would you rather know you're wanted Or know you're understood? Would you rather hear "I love you," Or just know somebody would— Stay when you're impossible, Listen when you can't explain, Sit beside you through the quiet, Make you laugh inside the pain? Maybe someday you'll ask me The one question that actually matters. Until then, keep giving me A or B. Because if you ask me Would I rather have everything I want with you Or have you in my life at all... For once, I don't need two choices. I choose you. Best friend. Bad idea. Favorite temptation. You. I'd rather.
