Just to be clear
I’ve always been aware
I’m not as naive as I ought to be

You came and shook my hand
It wasn't anything magical but that’s
How it began
Ever since then I

Lost a bit of focus
Elevator rides make me nervous
I’d rather take the stairs

You are the affable dork
In fictional books that I’ve read and fallen in love with
I am no manic pixie dream
That you would fancy your way over to me
There must be some kind of mistake

Maybe I’m in over my head
Maybe there’s something about us


Picture this
You and I unconventionally crossing the line
We could go together like a
Well-behaved lady day and John Coltrane
On a summertime and the living is easy kind of way

You are the affable dork
In fictional books that I’ve read and fallen in love with
I am no manic pixie dream
That you would fancy your way over to me
There must be some kind of mistake

I don’t know how this is supposed to go
Nobody handed me the manuscript, yeah I better go
Trust me I’m not the girl you want for this role
See, I’ve already ruined the story

But if you insist
Go ahead take the risk
It’ll be a plot twist if I were your leading lady
See, I’d gladly be the one you choose
Oh, I’d gladly be the one for

You are the affable dork
In fictional books that I’ve read and fallen in love with
I am no manic pixie dream
That you would fancy your way over to me
If this is some kind of mistake
Then it’s the best one you’ll ever make

See, I’ve already ruined the story
Let’s just hope for a happy ending
