Could You Love Me Now?

[Verse 1]
I want to date the girl upstairs
She likes me as much, as far as I can tell
Asked if I could take her downtown lamp shopping
'Cause it's dark as hell in her stairwell
And if she'd only knew that I'd been acting out Rapunzel
Beneath the balcony
She'd run hard and fast, would have never asked
If she could get to know me, and I'm gone

[Chorus]
There's nothing wrong with holding hands
I get it, oh, tell me, could you love me now?
There's nothing else I ever want in this world but you
Could you love me now?

[Verse 2]
She said she was addicted to Anne of Green Gables
Parts 1, 2 and 3
I guess I never got into Canadian fables
As deep as she seemed to be
Still, I started passing love letters under tables
To see if she wanted me
Such a simple line, three simple words
Check "yes", "no", or "maybe", and I'm gone

[Chorus]
There's nothing wrong with holding hands
I get it, oh, tell me, could you love me now?
There's nothing else I ever want in this world but you
Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
Could you love me now?
