[Verse 1]

Why am I fucking up so bad?

What am I even doing?

When am I ever gonna learn

What it is she already knows?

[Pre-Chorus]

Baby, I met you in downtown Chicago

But I, I had to drive away the very next day

So I flew your pretty ass to New York City

And I, I left you in L.A

[Chorus]

Was it love, or my fantasy?

Was it real, or just a dream?

[Verse 2]

Remember one night getting too fucked up in the Hamptons at Tom's

I fell off his bike and girl, you laughed at me so hard

Spent a whole week getting drunk on the dunes of Cape Cod

That's when you met my father

[Chorus]

Was it love, or my fantasy?

Was it real, or just a dream?

Was it love, or my fantasy?

[Bridge]

'Cause sometimes you get so angry

And I take it personal

And I should've known

That you were only hurtin'

'Cause life can be uncertain

When you're only 19 years old

[Verse 3]

So it's another late night out here in California

And I'm, I'm burying my pain into somebody else

And now you're back at home livin' with your mama

Got my first record sittin' on your shelf

[Chorus]

Was it love, or my fantasy?

Was it real, or just a dream?

Was it love, or my fantasy?

Was it real?

[Instrumental]

[Outro]

Well baby, I met you in downtown Chicago

But I had to drive away the next day

So I flew your pretty ass to New York City

Then I, I left you in L.A
