Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that you like me
And it's kinda frightening
Standing here waiting, waiting
And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes
Tongue-tied
[PreChorus]
But now you're so far away and I'm down
Feeling like a face in the crowd
I'm reaching for you
Terrified
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep, and I
Could be the reason you can't sleep at night
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
[Verse 2]
These days I'm restless
Workdays are endless
Look how you made me, made me
But time moves faster
Replaying your laughter
Disaster
[PreChorus]
'Cause now you're so far away and I'm down
Feeling like a face in the crowd
I'm reaching for you
Terrified, 'cause
[Chorus]
'Cause you could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep, and I
Could be the reason you can't sleep at night
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
[Verse 3]
I know that you like me
Bright eyes
Tongue-tied
I know that you like me
Bright eyes
Tongue-tied
[Bridge]
You could be the one that I love
And now I'm standing here, hoping it gets to you
[Chorus]
You could be the one that I love
I could be the one that you dream of
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
You could be the one that I keep, and I
Could be the reason you can't sleep at night
A message in a bottle is all I can do
Standing here, hoping it gets to you
[Outro]
You could be the one that I love
You could be the one that I love, my love
And now I'm standing here, hoping this gets to you
