lyrics

This guy’s got a picture of you  
hanging up in the walls of his mind 
a technicolor tinge she’ll throw in the mix  
when you’re feeling black and white
 No sign of insecurities 
You do well to conceal these 
But then I think that you’re not real 
So you shoot me a smile
 Effortless to surmise
 That you’re just being ideal  

My reoccurring reverie 
When I’m not with her
 I slip into a place where I  
Don’t want to leave until  
My hand is back around her side 
Been orbiting the ordinary
 It’s not what she does but how 
She does it for me  

This guy’s got it all under wraps 
By a front that’s weakening by the day 
You’re looking through the lenses of love  
And it tends to make these versions of reality sane  
And with this picture of hers  
The reverie reoccurs 
Are you sure you want to know if she’s real? 
Cos when the symptoms persist 
You’d knowingly run the risk
 I’ve tried and can’t have it 
Any other way   

My reoccurring reverie 
When I’m not with her 
I slip into a place where I  
Don’t want to leave until  
My hand is back around her side 
Been orbiting the ordinary 
It’s not what she does but how 
She does it for me
  Like the ‘x’ she puts 
At the end of that text looks 
Like we’re on our way. 
We’re on our way.
