lyrics

I can guess how you’ve been feeling
And I’ve been waiting, and I’ve been dreaming
And now I’m second-guessing, wondering if I’ve been
Living in fantasy

This little spill I took changed my position
A turned page, a new transition
If I thought I could predict what will be
I was living in fantasy

Just a coffee date but we were out to lunch
Shocked to hear the words that fell from the other’s mouth
And I don’t know where it leads from here
We are living in fantasy, dear

And I’m smiling to myself when I’m alone
Thinking about how being near you felt like home
Your reciprocation has the ring to me
Of living in fantasy

This girl’s got chances
This girl can sing away regret when given that grace
She’ll expertly lose then save her face
Oh won’t you talk to her

This girl’s got problems
This girl’s got shame and aggravation buried deep
She’s got a million reasons why she shouldn’t sleep
But she takes naps

If you don’t bother, it won’t matter
And I’ll return here a little faster
Back to ordinary thoughts and concrete things
Back to reality

Maybe these series of frustrations and mistakes
Could just lead us into a special state of grace
Maybe you’re not the one I thought you’d be
I was living in fantasy
Living in fantasy
