[Verse]

So knock me senseless

I know better than to save my pride

I’ll lower my defenses

Make it obvious I’m on your side

And pray you’re conscientious

What’s the point of using words like that?

I’m sorry I’m pretentious

But at least I’m saying something back

Under attack, until the window’s broken

Tear the blinds wide open and revel in the light

Holding on tight

[Chorus]

Well, I should’ve mentioned I’m an idiot

I need you to take control

I tell you I don’t have the soul for this, I

Wish you’d admit that you were into it

I can dream of how it goes

Until I wake up sad and lonely again

I’ll romanticize the thought of what it could’ve been

[Verse]

So pay attention

I know better than to say this twice

I’ll never be your henchman

And I’m afraid to take my own advice

But nothing else makes sense then

I believe in things that I can’t see

If you could break convention

Then you’d have a little faith in me

Finally free to live the life we’ve chosen

Nonetheless still frozen

Afraid of what we are

Well we made it this far

[Chorus]

Well, I should’ve mentioned I’m an idiot

I need you to take control

I tell you I don’t have the soul for this, I

Wish you’d admit that I was innocent

I can dream of how it goes

Until I wake up sad and lonely again

I’ll romanticize the thought of what it could’ve been

[Bridge]

And the filibuster’s all dried up now

‘Cause there’s nothing left to say

Leave me crying in a hotel bathroom

Wishing all of it away

Give it a rest

I don't intend any disrespect

In my defense, what did you expect?

Of course I’m not a god

[Chorus]

I owe you my thanks for being diligent

Bite my tongue when I’m asleep ‘cause all I do is ruin dreams

I guess I’m just no good at being intimate

And I might as well give up

But when I wake up sad and lonely again

I’ll romanticize the thought of what it could’ve been

[Outro]

(La la la la la la la laaa)

(La la la la la la laaa laaa la la la la la)

(La la la la la la la laaa)

I’ll romanticize the thought of what it

Fantasize the thought of what it

Fantasize the thought of what it

Could’ve been
