Who You Thought I'd Be

(albüm: A Grey Area - 2023)

I picture you on Sunday morning
In a life that's gotten simple
A book between your knees
Decaf in your hands
Sunlight in your dimple

You're smiling at the world you've wanted
As he puts his hands through your hair
No one would believe
Anybody else
Had ever even been there

He'll love what you love
And he'll hate what you hate
When you plan out your future
He won't hesitate
You'll both have
Such deeply compatible dreams
He won't love you more
But you'll want the same things

His perfect version of Saturday night
Will be home on the couch
And in bed by 9
When he tells you he's staying
You'll know it's forever this time
It's inevitable
Eventually
You'll find who you thought I'd be

You can put me in a story
About someone inconsistent
Who comes up time to time
Helps you to compare
How he treats you different
You can summarize me
As a phase
When you were younger
A two-year growing pain
Small bump in the road
That led you to each other

He'll love what you love
And he'll hate what you hate
When you plan out your future
He won't hesitate
You'll both have
Such deeply compatible dreams
He won't love you more
But you'll want the same things

His perfect version of Saturday night
Will be home on the couch
And in bed by 9
When he tells you he's staying
You'll know it's forever this time
It's inevitable
Eventually
You'll find who you thought I'd be

If I could
I'd give you the world
I'd be that person
That you deserve
And even if it's not by your side
I'll always love you
Now leave me behind

If I could
I'd give you the world
I'd be that person
That you deserve
And even if it's not by your side
I'll always love you
Now leave me behind
