Title: Oh Dear First Cousin
Verse 1:
At the family table, you’re laughing so bright
Catching my glance, you light up the night
I’m carrying torches, you don’t even see
But the flames are dancing deep inside me
Pre-Chorus:
And every time you’re near, my mind starts to freeze
Simple words feel like foreign keys
I know that you know, it’s there in my stare
Every heartbeat’s telling you I care
Chorus:
Oh dear first cousin, what am I gonna do?
When my whole world spins standing next to you
I try to hide it, but my grin gives it away
You’ve been in my heart since those childhood days
Oh dear first cousin, I’m tangled in this truth
And I know that you know what I’m feeling for you
Verse 2:
You ask me questions, I stumble, I stall
Feels like my voice just hit a wall
Every line I rehearsed gets stuck in my head
But my eyes say the words I’ve left unsaid
Pre-Chorus:
And every little smile, it pulls me in deep
This is a secret my soul can’t keep
I know that you know, though we don’t say a thing
It’s in the silence where the meaning clings
Chorus:
Oh dear first cousin, what am I gonna do?
When my whole world spins standing next to you
I try to hide it, but my grin gives it away
You’ve been in my heart since those childhood days
Oh dear first cousin, I’m tangled in this truth
And I know that you know what I’m feeling for you
Bridge:
Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s fate
Maybe it’s a door we can’t open, too late
But my heart still races when I hear your name
And nothing I do makes it feel the same
Final Chorus:
Oh dear first cousin, I’ll keep it locked inside
Just a quiet song where my feelings hide
I know that you know, and maybe that’s enough
For now, I’ll just live with this quiet kind of love
