Duet[]
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
[Hannah]
When I saw you over there
I didn't mean to stare
But my mind was everywhere
I wanna know you
Gonna guess that you're the kind
To say what's on your mind
But you listen when I have something to show you
There's a mark above your eye
You got it in July
Fighting for your sister's reputation
You remember people's names
And valentines are lame
[David]
So I bring you flowers just for no occasion, oh
[Hannah and David]
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna know you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself,
"Yeah, I thought so."
[Hannah]
You smile, never shout
You stand out in a crowd
You make the best of every situation
Correct me if I'm wrong
You're fragile and you're strong
A beautiful and perfect combination
[Hannah and David]
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna know you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself.
I like how you are with me
In our future history
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself,
"Yeah, I thought so."
[David]
Yeah I thought so, whoa, yeah
[Hannah and David]
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna know you
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself.
I like how you are with me
In our future history
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself,
"Yeah, I thought so."
