Awkward Beginnings Lyrics

I'm standing outside the movie theater, sweating like a pig

Wondering if I should've worn a different shirt, or maybe not come at all--

(Ya'll dig?)

My mind's a mess, it's like a bad sitcom

I'm trying to play it cool, like in the comic con

I see you walking towards me, with a smile so bright

I'm thinking "oh no-- I'm in trouble-- this is gonna be a long night"

We exchange some awkward hellos, and I stumble on my words

I'm pretty sure I'm making a fool of myself, oh boy

(Oh boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!)

We buy some overpriced tickets, and head inside

I'm hoping the movie's good, so I don't have to talk, zip my pride

But the silence is getting to me, it's like a scream in my head

I'm just trying to survive, this disastrous first date instead

(I guessssssssssssssss)

Can we just fast forward, to the part where we're okay?

Skip the small talk, and the awkward phase?

(Pleaseeeee)

I'm anxious, I'm nervous, I'm freaking out

Trying to play it cool, but I'm spinning round and round

(Spinning Out)

I'm searching for a lifeline, a beacon in the night

To save me from this anxiety, and make everything alright

(Make It Alright)

We're sipping coffee, and making polite conversation

I'm trying to be witty, but it's just a fabrication (Fabricated Wit)

I'm overthinking everything, from the cream in my coffee

To the way I'm sitting, it's like I'm in a bad comedy (Bad Comedy)

We're laughing and joking, but I'm dying inside

I'm thinking "is this a date, or just a friendly ride?" (Friendly Ride?)

I'm trying to read the signs, but they're all unclear

I'm just hoping I don't say something, that'll make you disappear

We're walking down the street, and I'm feeling alive

But my anxiety's lurking, waiting to thrive (Anxiety Lurking)

I'm trying to enjoy the moment, but it's hard to unwind

I'm just hoping you'll like me, and we'll make it to the third date in line

(Third date in lineeee)

Oh, oh, oh, I'm losing my mind

Oh, oh, oh, gotta leave my worries behind

Oh, oh, oh, I'm losing my mind

Oh, oh, oh, gotta leave my worries behind

Can we just fast forward, to the part where we're okay?

Skip the small talk, and the awkward phase?

(Pleaseeeee)

I'm anxious, I'm nervous, I'm freaking out

Trying to play it cool, but I'm spinning round and round

(Spinning Out)

I'm searching for a lifeline, a beacon in the night

To save me from this anxiety, and make everything alright

(Make It Alright)

Then you take my hand, and tell me to relax

Says "I like you, just be yourself, no need to look back" (Just Be Yourself)

I take a deep breath, and let my worries fade

Maybe this thing, will actually work out okay.

(Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)
