You're kicking tires, I'm sitting on the fence 
Love's falling all around us and it don't make sense 
How long can the two of us beat around the bush 
We're right out on the edge but we need a little push 

Dancing on the tightrope, wearing it thin 
Instead of closing our eyes and jumping in 

[Chorus] 
Do you want to kiss 
Do you want to kiss 
Do you want to kiss 
You go first 

You're dodging the moon and I'm playing it safe 
Look what we're not doing, oh boy, what a waste 
And what could be worse than never saying it at all 
Is never knowing the feeling, never feeling the fall 

What's it gonna take to get us both there 
Can't you see what I'm suggesting, it's a double dare 

[Chorus] 

You start if you have the nerve 
I'll trust my heart, but you go first 

[Chorus]
