​kissing boys Lyrics by Emily James

​moments that mattered

2020

[Verse 1]
I try to stay away from kissing boys i like
It’s dangerous for me to think there might
Be a chance, at something more
Or i’ll lose my mind
[Verse 2]
So i need to keep ‘em at a distance
Call them friend, to anyone who’ll listen
There’s no sense in expecting
Oh it only wrecks me in the end
[Chorus]
That’s a kind of hurt don’t want to feel again
But looking in your eyes is magnetizing
So when you started leaning in i thought
“Oh i’m in trouble now”
'Cause likely this won’t last past tonight
And that’s why i don’t go kissing boys i fight
[Verse 3]
The urge to run into your arms
It’s why i make so many jokes
That’s my defense, but it’s breaking
Oh you got me shaking i’m so scared
[Chorus]
That’s a kind of hurt don’t want to feel again
But looking in your eyes is mesmerizing
So when you whispered, “stay” i said
“oh i’m in trouble now”
'Cause i’m too entangled to take flight
And that’s why i don’t go kissing boys i like
[Bridge]
Oooh oooh
[Chorus]
That’s a kind of hurt don’t want to feel again
But looking in your eyes I think I'm falling
Lying next to you like this
I know I'm in trouble
'Cause I never wanna leave your side
And that's why I don't go kissing boys I like
Oh. I don't go kissing boys I like
