A thousand words wouldn't say enough
About the way I fell in love
I held your hand to know it was real
And now I know how love's supposed to feel

My parents' house
In the front yard
I held you close and let down my guard
You tell me slow like I'm your last

I wish I could, wish I could love like that

How do you love like that?
When your heart's been torn in half
How do you love like that?
When I'm scared to say it back

Don't think that I'm not scared
Don't think that I don't care
I'm not going anywhere
I wish I could love like that

I think of you when I'm alone
But I'm too scared to let it show
I'm so glad you let me know
I wish I could love like that

In your car we were driving slow
We'd talk for hours
Nowhere to go
I still can't tell if I'm in a dream
Or this is how it's supposed to be

You tell me things I won't forget
I keep them locked deep inside my chest
And you don't care if we dance on glass

I wish I could, wish I could love like that

How do you love like that?
When your heart's been torn in half
How do you love like that?
When I'm scared to say it back

Don't think that I'm not scared
Don't think that I don't care
I'm not going anywhere
I wish I could love like that

I think of you when I'm alone
But I'm too scared to let it show
I'm so glad you let me know
I wish I could love like that

I wish I was better with words
'Cause I know my silence hurts

How do you love like that?
When your heart's been torn in half
How do you love like that?
When I'm scared to say it back

Don't think that I'm not scared
Don't think that I don't care
I'm not going anywhere
I wish I could love like that

I think of you when I'm alone
But I'm too scared to let it show
I'm so glad you let me know
I wish I could love like that

I wish I could love like that
I wish I could love like that

How do you love like that?
