"all the little details"

What is your name?

I'm not asking to make awkward conversation

I just genuinely want to know you better

Where do you live?

I'm not asking to be a stalker

I just want to send you anonymous love letters

What time do you get up every day?

Do you sleep in, sleep in till the early afternoon

Get up at 7am, catch the kids cartoons?

Do you get scared?

Of big dogs, or heights

Monsters under the bed, rooms with no lights

All these things and more

Gotta take them on before I take you on as mine and

All the little details might not matter to no-one else

But I genuinely care

How often do you wash your hair?

And all the little details might slip past the minds of people who are mean

But I really wanna know

Are you everything that you seem?

What is your favourite food?

And what is your number, or would asking that be rude?

Do you walk 'round in slippers or socks in your house when no one's there

And do you like your steak medium or rare?

All these things and more

Gotta take them on before I take you on as mine and

All the little details might not matter to no-one else

But I genuinely care

How often do you wash your hair?

All the little details might slip past the minds of people who are mean

But I really wanna know, are you everything that you seem?

Favourite color

favourite season

Favourite number

And the reason

You're still standing here listening to me?

'Cause you've stuck around 'til question 23

So I wanted to know

Do you have any questions for me?
