J. Maya - Sunday Crossword

Lyrics

When I was a kid, I always imagined
the person I'd fall for would be good with their mouth
and all the best phrases would always fall out

We’d walk to get coffee on Sunday morning,
then we’d do the crossword, and sit on the couch
it’s kinda ironic; that’s what we have now

We said we wouldn’t let it,
but somehow this got serious
And you sound so poetic
saying we’re so far from love
You can’t say it to my face, so
we just try and fill these spaces:

CHORUS
What’s a 9-letter word for how you feel?
There’s a u & i together, but it’s missing a few letters
Is it “misguided” or “disguised” as something real?
It can’t be “unrequited,” ‘cause my feelings are too big
There’s so much I wanna tell you, but I don’t know if it’ll fit

I’m not a kid, so now I can read all
the signs that you give, and into silence between us,
there’s so much we’re leaving unsaid

so give me a pen, & I can pretend
that we’re writing our future, instead of playing
all these games, trying to break the rules

We said we wouldn’t let it,
but somehow this got serious (this got serious)
And I might sound pathetic,
but doesn’t this look just like love?
I can’t say it to your face, so
I hope you can fill the spaces

What’s a 6-letter word for what I want?
There’s an “over” in the center, but I know that’s not the answer
Under “covers,” I might never call it “love”
But it’s spelled out so clearly, the more you look at it
There’s so much I wanna tell you, but I don’t know if it’ll fit

Ooooo, it all leads back to you
(You know the words, can you say ‘em first)
(Fill the spaces, I’ll be patient)
Ooooo, it all leads back to you
(You know the words, can you say ‘em first)
(I always imagined, I couldn’t have grasped it)

When I was a kid, I never imagined
that love would be so hard to figure out,
it’s kinda ironic — that’s what I have now
