I'm In Love With An Outline

(Album: The Flames Pt. 2 - 2023)

The boy with your face keeps coming around
I see him in the Waitrose isle
He looks lost and found
Your lank, dank hair is his same shade of brown

He's just a little bit chubbier than you
But I don't mind

I overhear him in line at the betting shop
He's been given a sure thing
But he's keeping it under his hat
I find myself wondering "what else does he hide?"
Oh God
What's happening to me?

I'm thinking about stopping him the next time we pass
Asking for the time to see if there are sparks
It wouldn't be cheating if I thought of you, right?
Right?
Right?

I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with an outline
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with an outline

In the next silhouette is the promise of surprise
All I need is an outline to fill in the blanks
I just fill in the blanks

I see traces of you in every slow brow
Every caveman walk
Every tree trunk fire
Every widows peak
Every big gut sigh
(Dum, dum, dum)
Oh shit!
Here he comes

The boy with your face keeps coming around
I see him at the Co-op, and he's giving me the eye
It wouldn't be cheating if I thought of you, right?
Right?
Right?

I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with an outline
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with an outline

In the next silhouette is the promise of surprise
All I need is an outline to fill in the blanks
I just fill in the

I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with an outline
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with a lie
I'm in love with an outline

In the next silhouette is the promise of surprise
All I need is an outline to fill in the blanks
I just fill in the blanks
