Wish It Were True

I want to know who you are
The face that I see when I'm singing in my car
These lyrics 'bout love, 'bout breakups and trust
Me pretending I've given my heart

I can picture the scene in my head
Finding shells on the beach, you take my hand instead
And we watch the sun as it dips in the sea
You say everything in life has led you to me

And I fall
I finally know what falling feels like
I write poems 'bout the color of your eyes
And you teach me to dance, 'round the room in a trance
I don't care what I look like

I have always been good at pretending
Painting pictures of things that will never exist
And I hate to admit it but I want a love like this

Eyes meet across the room
You say, "I hate parties,"
And I say, "Me too"
I'm not awkward
I feel safe when I'm with you

You understand me
All the little things that I do
We laugh so loud, we disturb them in the next room
People drain me
But I'm never tired when I'm with you

I wish it were true
You see, I've thought it all through
I wish you were true
(True)

Been dreaming since I was a kid
About fairytale romance and true love's first kiss
But my once upon a time never turned out just right
And I've never even gone on a date with someone

And I just want to find
Secret notes in the lining of
My favorite coat, even stupid cliches 'cause I'd
Know that you wrote it
Black pen keeps me hoping
Our love was as lasting as that

And I fall
I finally know what falling feels like
I write poems 'bout how you'll be my sunshine
And I'll ask you to dance 'round the room in a trance
I don't care what we look like

Eyes meet across the room
You say, "I hate parties,"
And I say, "You know I do, too"
I'm not awkward
I feel safe when I'm with you

You understand me
All the little things that I do
We laugh so loud at old jokes that were made for two
People drain me
But I'm never tired when I'm with you

I wish it were true
You see, I've thought it all through
I wish you were true
(True)

I have always been good at pretending
Painting pictures of things that will never exist
And I hate to admit it but I want a love like this

Eyes meet, we're the only ones in this room
You say, "I love you,"
And I say, "I love you, too"
I'm not awkward
I feel safe when I'm with you

You understand me
All the little things that I do
We laugh so loud, life's brighter now that I got you
People drain me
But I'm never tired when I'm with you

I wish it were true
You see, I've thought it all through
I wish you were true
(True)
