Idiot

[Verse]
So knock me senseless
I know better than to save my pride
I’ll lower my defenses
Make it obvious I’m on your side
And pray you’re conscientious
What’s the point of using words like that?
I’m sorry I’m pretentious
But at least I’m saying something back
Under attack, until the window’s broken
Tear the blinds wide open and revel in the light
Holding on tight

[Chorus]
Well, I should’ve mentioned I’m an idiot
I need you to take control
I tell you I don’t have the soul for this, I
Wish you’d admit that you were into it
I can dream of how it goes
Until I wake up sad and lonely again
I’ll romanticize the thought of what it could’ve been

[Verse]
So pay attention
I know better than to say this twice
I’ll never be your henchman
And I’m afraid to take my own advice
But nothing else makes sense then
I believe in things that I can’t see
If you could break convention
Then you’d have a little faith in me
Finally free to live the life we’ve chosen
Nonetheless still frozen
Afraid of what we are
Well we made it this far

[Chorus]
Well, I should’ve mentioned I’m an idiot
I need you to take control
I tell you I don’t have the soul for this, I
Wish you’d admit that I was innocent
I can dream of how it goes
Until I wake up sad and lonely again
I’ll romanticize the thought of what it could’ve been

[Bridge]
And the filibuster’s all dried up now
‘Cause there’s nothing left to say
Leave me crying in a hotel bathroom
Wishing all of it away
Give it a rest
I don't intend any disrespect
In my defense, what did you expect?
Of course I’m not a god

[Chorus]
I owe you my thanks for being diligent
Bite my tongue when I’m asleep ‘cause all I do is ruin dreams
I guess I’m just no good at being intimate
And I might as well give up
But when I wake up sad and lonely again
I’ll romanticize the thought of what it could’ve been

[Outro]
(La la la la la la la laaa)
(La la la la la la laaa laaa la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la laaa)
I’ll romanticize the thought of what it
Fantasize the thought of what it
Fantasize the thought of what it
Could’ve been
