The Way You Say Hello

He said he loved her more than words
So instead of words, he gave her flowers to observe
She drew him pictures in a card
He said it was tacky and almost broke her heart

I know he hates the way she does her hair
I know she hates the way that he pretends to care
I know she'll slightly disagree on what he wears
I know he chokes when she sprays too much perfume in the air
But she likes the way it feels when he's right there

She loves him so much, it's absurd
He thinks it's cute that her singing is the worst he's ever heard
And the way she'll close her eyes when she's nervous and just about to cry

He likes the way she plays songs on repeat
He likes the way they flow together like electricity
He likes her ringtone, and the way she'll say hello
He likes the way her hands feel even if they're cold

And when she's away from him
She's away from home

He likes, mmm
The way you say hello
He likes, likes the way you say hello
