Lyrics Better In Person (feat. Becky Kinder) - Jay Filson

Pictures on a screen
That's how you know me
And I see you like them periodically
So every word I use
I choose it carefully
I was hoping we would just meet naturally
But all we have are messages and bios
So I'll ask you little questions
And read what you wrote
Usually I'd be the one to take it slow
But we're not getting any younger
So here goes nothing

I told you all about my family tonight
I talk about 'em all the time
And I never think twice
But it's taking you a minute to reply
Oooh

Maybe I shouldn't have said that
It sounded better in my head yeah
I hate that this isn't working
I'm so much better in person
I wish that I could delete those words you read
Then I'd replace them with better ones instead
Not sure why this isn't working
I swear I'm better in person

Usually I think I'm pretty funny
And when I'm with other people
We're all laughing
But it's hard to tell
When you're not in front of me
Is it going well, do we like the same things?
Cause I told you all about my fear
Of being denied
I talk about it all the time
And I never think twice
But it's taking you a minute to reply, so

Maybe I shouldn't have said that
It sounded better in my head yeah
I hate that this isn't working
I'm so much better in person
I wish that I could delete those words you read
Then I'd replace them with better ones instead
Not sure why this isn't working
I swear I'm better in person
Oooh oooh

It's like there's two different versions of me
If only I could choose the one you see

I told you all about the ways I try to hide
All of the things I'm feeling
Deep down inside
But it's taking you a minute to reply
Oooh

Maybe I shouldn't have said that
It sounded better in my head yeah
I hate that this isn't working
I'm so much better in person
I wish that I could delete those words you read
Then I'd replace them with better ones instead
Not sure why this isn't working
I swear I'm better in person
Oooh oooh

Not sure why this isn't working
I swear I'm better in person
