[Verse 1: Jonah Marais]
You know me the best
You know my worst, see me hurt, but you don't judge
That, right there, is the scariest feeling
Opening and closing up again
I've been hurt so I don't trust
Now here we are, staring at the ceiling
[Pre-Chorus: Zach Herron]
I've said those words before but it was a lie
And you deserve to hear them a thousand times
[Chorus: Jack Avery & Corbyn Besson]
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2: Daniel Seavey]
Isn't it amazing
How almost every line
On our hands align
When your hand's in mine
It's like I'm whole again
Isn't that a sign
I should speak my mind
[Pre-Chorus: Zach Herron]
I've said those words before but it was a lie
And you deserve to hear them a thousand times
[Chorus: Jack Avery & Corbyn Besson]
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge: Jack Avery]
When I close my eyes
It's you there in my mind
When I close my eyes
[Chorus: Corbyn Besson]
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
[Build: Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey, All]
If all it is is eight letters
If all it is is eight letters (if all it is is eight-)
If all it is is eight letters (if all it is is eight letters)
If all it is is eight letters (oh, oh no)
If all it is is eight letters
If all it is is eight letters (if all it is is eight letters)
If all it is is eight letters (if all it is is eight letters)
If all it is is eight letters
[Outro: Corbyn Besson & All, Jack Avery]
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
If all it is is eight letters
Why am I in my own way?
Why do I pull you close
And then ask you for space
If all it is is eight letters
Why is it so hard to say?
