[Verse]

Pretty boy

With your tufty-tufty hair above your shoulders

The way you hold your frame makes you look older

And I gotta say, I like your leather shoes

[Verse]

So mysterious

Scribbling things up on your hipster napkins

I see through your flimsy plan of action

Yet strangely, it's working right on cue

[Verse]

Clever boy

You got me got me got me where you want me

That melody you played is gonna haunt me

Stuck inside my head another day

[Verse]

How'd you know I'm attracted to "deliberately eccentric"

But when I said we wouldn't meet again I meant it, oh

I wouldn't have it any other way

[Chorus]

Because it was real

And the break was oh so clean

Don't you see we'd walk away

Knowing this is all it'll ever be

It was perfect in this way

We couldn’t fuck it up this way

And we will go our separate ways

With nothing but the story of a

Vintage bike

And a double take from a man with a mermaid tattoo

Our gazes lock as he flies down the avenue

Before you know it, he is on his way

But didn’t you feel

The pounding adrenaline rush through

It goes as quickly he came

There was nothing more that we could do

No, it was perfect in this way

We couldn’t fuck it up this way

And we will go our separate ways

With nothing but the story of a...

[Bridge]

Maybe this is all I need right now

‘Cause it is what it is but what it ain’t

Is a dozen ruby roses all around

To match our twinkling, star-crossed fate

Pretty boy

Pretty things happen for no reason

So no reason for you to stay

[Bridge]

Maybe this is all I need right now

‘Cause it is what it is but what it ain’t

Is a dozen ruby roses all around

To match our twinkling, star-crossed fate

Pretty boy

Pretty things happen for no reason

So no reason for you to stay

[Chorus]

Because it was real

And the break was oh so clean

Don't you see we'd walk away

Knowing this is all it'll ever be

It was perfect in this way

We couldn’t fuck it up this way

And we will go our separate ways

With nothing but the story of a

[Outro]

Pretty boy

With some tufty-tufty hair above his shoulders
