lyrics

I could lie about this but my face gives it away
I could try and fake it but I'd be acting everyday
I could write a sad song but I'm impartial to shades of grey
I could leave this apartment but I just can't break away

I could turn off my phone but I want to hear it vibrate
I could try and sleep but it’s so hard to concentrate
I could try and be sad but it’s too hard when I feel great
I could give a cold stare but I can't keep my face straight

I have a fear of heights
But you make me wanna ride a rollercoaster tonight
I'll dive off the deep end
I'll sing these cliché’d lines of how I'm so glad you're mine

You make me want to
Fall asleep and never wake up
Cause it’s you that I dream
And that is enough to make me stay dreaming
You're all that I dream
