Make Believe Boy Lyrics

I went up to watch the sky settle

Alone

Just like every other night

But I still keep getting dressed up, and I'll say it's for me

'Cause it's honestly embarassing,

That I guess I'm really hoping

There'll be someone who's watching me read down in the lawn

No, not in a creepy way

That sounds insane

But you know what I mean

And he'll sit next to me and shyly mumble

"Hey, I was thinking could I get your number?"

And I'd blush and say "I guess" in a calm way

While my stomach's really flipping over 'cause today

Was the day I found you

A make believe boy

Hopeless romantic should be my middle name

Always daydreaming in the middle of lonely cafes

Swift in my ears, dressing up for the male gaze

Maybe someday someone will take the empty space

And he'll ask me my order and I'll tell him

"Oat milk and cinnamon"

And he'll remember that for the rest of our lives

And show up with it every other time I start to cry

When I find you

Make believe boy

Ripped blue jeans and a grey flannel

I like to pretend it's someone else's

That way I don't feel so alone

But then I'd meet someone who gives me theirs that smells of cologne 

And wear it when I see him,

Every morning, every evening

And when we get bored I'd ask him

"Wanna drive?" and you'd say "why not"

And we'd fall in love in a parking lot

And I'd be so glad I put on makeup

And convince myself I'm not a loner

'Cause I found you

Make believe boy

And I'm still trying to figure out if my soulmate exists

But while I push down that thought I'll imagine the day I tie the knot

Gold rings and a song I'll sing, from me to you

I'll write it, and you'll like it,

And we'll dance all night 'till we're up to the hotel room

And then we'll take the smallest house on the corner of the country

Green kitchen, lucky living, as long as this one's in it with me

And we'll visit every summer between our flights from Paris to palm trees

With photos in your wallet of our white gown, black tie ceremony

And then we'll be seventy

And I'll tell stories

Long nights, sparkled eyes, all my silly picking fights

And you're all wrinkled up, but I'll still be telling you

How you look mighty fine

When I when I find you

Make believe boy

Someday I'll find you

Make believe boy

I'll find you

Make believe boy
