Paper Girlfriend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I leave two cups out Like you might show A shirt on the chair A note on the door You laugh in my head At my bad plans Call me out soft Then hold my hand [Pre-Chorus] I know you’re made up Still you feel real Fool in the mirror But I like that deal You turn the gray room Into something warm Say “stay right here” When the house gets stormed [Chorus] My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) You know me better Than anybody else My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) You keep me steady When I can’t help myself [Verse 2] I buy one extra fruit At the corner stand I talk to your ghost In the checkout line You hate my excuses Love my strange blue jeans You steal my hoodie Then you steal my sleep [Pre-Chorus] I know you’re made up Still you feel real Fool in the mirror But I like that deal You turn the gray room Into something warm Say “stay right here” When the house gets stormed [Chorus] My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) You know me better Than anybody else My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) You keep me steady When I can’t help myself [Bridge] Maybe that’s the trick To needing you A heart can learn How to make you true If you’re just a dream Don’t wake me yet I like the way You’re hard to forget [Final Chorus] My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) You know me better Than anybody else My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) You keep me steady When I can’t help myself My imaginary girlfriend (oh, my imaginary girlfriend) If you’re not real Then why do I still feel this?
