It ends today
I'm gonna kiss Jacob
Prove he's my kiss thief
No more hiding
Walk up the stairs to Jacob's brownstone
Kiss Thief cover's about to be blown
Knock once, twice, door swings wide
A little munchkin stares back, wild-eyed
"You're it!" Tag, I'm under attack
Now I'm sprinting through the hall
This is not what I planned at all
Jacob slips on a toy car, flail and twist
Loses his balance, grabs my wrist
One wild second, no time to think
He pulls me down in one swift blink
We hit the couch in a breathless heap
"You're it," I say, and the room goes deep
First kiss do-over, I know he's my thief
And if he's not we'll have some serious beef
All year long I've been rehearsing this spark
Waiting for the moment, stuck in the dark
First kiss do-over, this time with sight
And if it's not him that would really bite
His lips are inches away
I'm losing composure
He starts to lean in and
My hands are tied
No, seriously, tied
Cousin Onyx grinning
With villainous pride
He's just a kid, how's he this slick?
Why does this kid know sailor tricks?
Knots so tight and I think he just groped
How'd I get caught in pirate ropes?
Jacob grabs me, upstairs quick
Door shuts soft with a quiet click
Loosens knots, slow and near
Fingers brush, whole world disappears
First kiss do-over, I know he's my thief
And if he's not we'll have some serious beef
All year long I've been rehearsing this spark
Waiting for the moment, stuck in the dark
First kiss do-over, this time with sight
And if it's not him that would really bite
He's untying knots
Hands brushing mine
He starts to lean in and
Uncle Matt bursts in, zero chill
"Need some help with dinner, you two, for real"
We head downstairs, music loud
Fun kitchen dancing like there's no crowd
Fake sprinkler in the air, hands on my waist
Spinning wild to a throwback bass
Song gets quiet, lights turn low
He pulls me close, here we go
Uncle Matt again, "Time to eat"
But I've got no appetite for that meat
Sitting side by side, knees collide
Electric sparks I cannot hide
Under the table, fingers trace
Tiny circles, my pulse in a race
He turns to me with that look in his eyes
Leans in slow, no more surprise
First kiss do-over. Wait, hold up, what?
He clears his throat and the whole room shuts
"Scarlett's been my girl since the circus party night"
Mic-drop moment in dining room light
First kiss do-over. Wait, hold up, what?
He clears his throat and the whole room shuts
"Scarlett's been my girl since the circus party night"
Mic-drop moment in dining room light
