Green Screen

I'm overstimulated
You know I hate public places
Some nights I'm your golden trophy to show off
And I'm sophisticated
Then I'm the waitress topping your drink off
You buy me all the outfits
Characters you wrap me up in
Somebody told you that blue makes your eyes pop
Now it's hanging in my closet
You're painting me into your backdrop
And I'm making it harder than you thought

Turn me green
So I can be anything
I can be everything
That you could dream up
Your green screen
Project it all onto me
Everything I should be
Would that be enough

You're always reading off a script
And only credit me in public
Say behind every important man's a good woman
And you'll keep me there if you can help it
You're painting me into your backdrop
And I'm making it harder than you thought

Turn me green
So I can be anything
I can be everything
That you could dream up
Your green screen
Project it all onto me
Everything I should be
Would that be enough

You lean in whispering
Say I'm the star of every dream
That you've had in your life
I'm all that you wanted to find
But it's all meaningless
I wouldn't waste another breath
'Cause who you dream about isn't really me now

Your green screen
Project it all onto me
Everything I should be
Would that be enough
