Gingham Check

Gingham Check

1. Gingham Check

Gingham Check

(verse 1)

I like you, but I'm afraid to tell

out of excuses, I'm just not feeling well

my friends say you like me so much though

I got on my bike and pedaled all the way to your house

my mind racing and filling up with doubts

you had just arrived

from your part-time job

I daydream in the pattern of the curtains

(chorus)

gingham check, you like me, I like you

your ripped shirt sleeves look mannish on your arms

I always steer my heart away from harm

but right now I'm putting it all on the line

gingham check, love only grew, my face is red

blue, white, blue, intersecting little threads

my feelings overlap

I nervously bite my lip

is it a no or a yes?

gingham check

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

plunged into a future wearing white

and I borrowed something blue

a shock comes and goes but what's new?

when we exchange our marriage vows on that day

will we think about obstacles that got in our way?

a pattern that's happy

a husband with a wife to carry

we're tied back to back for life

(chorus)

gingham check, summer out rules the spring

diamond, silver, platinum, a hand and a ring

I will love you forever and always

no matter what you do and anywhere you go

gingham check, love all season long

yes, no, yes a question asked and answered wrong

it's all okay

you ask and I obey

next summer will be the best

gingham check

(end chorus)

(bridge)

what would you say if I said I like you though?

all the things I said would still be unrequited

it contrasts like light and shadow

(chorus)

gingham check, you like me, I like you

your ripped shirt sleeves look mannish on your arms

I always steer my heart away from harm

but right now I'm putting it all on the line

gingham check, love only grew, my face is red

blue, white, blue, intersecting little threads

my feelings overlap

I nervously bite my lip

is it a no or a yes?

gingham check

(end chorus)
