NOVELS Lyrics

I'm trying not to make a scene

But I look for you in everything

In every person in the crowd

Not brave enough to seek you out

I feel your presence in the room

But I know that I can't talk to you

I feel you, just as tense as me

I just hope I see you in my sleep

I parked in front of your van

A coincidence I wish I'd planned

So I tried to act like I was keeping my cool

But you know that I'm a fucking fool for you

I saw you on the side of the stage

And I turned myself back to that page

Of words I wish I'd said to you

A glimpse of your face left me unglued

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I swore I'd write you novels

But I just wrote silly songs

Sometimes I wish you'd cause more problems

So I'd have a reason to move on

I don't understand what the future holds

But you're my favorite part of the past

I always love every word about you

Even if it doesn't love me back

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I saw how much you came to life

When I came closer in the crowd

Pretending like I didn't care

But you know that I did, cause you were there

I wanna reach out in some way

And tell you "You did good today"

I know that you saw me singing your song

But we have to pretend we're moving on

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
