Mystery Jets First To Know lyrics

There are people I know,
They don't seem to mind or if they do they do it don't show,
But I can't sleep at night,
Unless I know that you're tucked up tight,
And I know I sound paranoid,
But I've been that way since I was a boy,
Knee height,
Stage Fright,
Even if you're alright,
I want to be,
the first to know.
I know it was a long time ago,
You left on your own and you were curbcrawled home,
I still kick myself now,
I should have never allowed you out my sight,
And I cross my heart,
Hope to die,

If anything happens to you when you're out of my sight,
I want to be the guy who steps in the way,
When you're in harms' way,
I want to be the first to know.
If you want some space just squeeze my hand girl,
I'll understand,
You don't have to lie,
We're on the same side girl,
I don't want to be a ball and chain,
I'm just afraid of change,
And I'm not ashamed,
If you think I want to hold you back,
you should know me better than that,
I just want to be the first to know.
