Make Believe Boy

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
