[Verse 1]
I drift off in the static glow
Tracing faces in the radio
Every thought of you just slips
Something I can't ever hold
I paint you in my head again
Little scenes that never end
You're the story that I write
'Cause real life never gets it right
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's just pretend
But it's the only place you stay
Every time the real world hits
You just fade away
[Chorus]
I'm a daydreamer, wish-keeper
Falling for the ones I never get
I'm a make-beliеver, heart-sleeper
Building you from shadows in my hеad
'Cause boys like you don't ever stay
So I keep you where you can't fade
Yeah, I'm a daydreamer
Guess that's who I'll always be anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
[Verse 2]
Late nights in the LED
Your reflection keeps replaying me
I chase after silhouettes
That vanish when I try to speak
I want something I can touch
But wanting you is asking much
So I shut my eyes and run
To the place where you're enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it's just pretend
But it's the only place you stay
Every time the real world hits
You just fade away
[Chorus]
I'm a daydreamer, wish-keeper
Falling for the ones I never get
I'm a make-believer, heart-sleeper
Building you from shadows in my head
'Cause boys like you don't ever stay
So I keep you where you can't fade
Yeah, I'm a daydreamer
Guess that's who I'll always be anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
[Bridge]
Maybe someday someone real
Steps into the life I feel
But 'til then I write the script
Where you're mine for just a bit
Frozen in my neon haze
Held inside a frame I made
In my head, you never leave
You're the lie I like to believe
[Chorus]
I'm a daydreamer, wish-keeper
Falling for the ones I never get
I'm a make-believer, heart-sleeper
Building you from shadows in my head
'Cause boys like you don't ever stay
So I keep you where you can't fade
Yeah, I'm a daydreamer
And I don't wanna wake up anyway
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, daydreamer
[Chorus - Reprise]
I'm a sky-gazer, hope-chaser
Loving all the things I never touch
I'm a late-night-er, dream-writer
Turning you to magic when it's rough
'Cause boys like you just drift away
So I hold you in my mind's cafés
Yeah, I'm a daydreamer
And I think I kinda like it way too much
