Lyrics
tell me i can be a star
a pretty lyric that can go so far
it helps me reason with the things i feel
'cause under sunlight they can seem so real
i want to have you want me
(i'm caught up in a daydream)
rebuild me on the daily
(in my eternal reverie)
erase me from your memory
(to come and see the new me)
and look, i'm wonderful and so brand new
oh i can grow so big
(aggrandicize)
pieces falling into place
(the grand design)
i take this image and stretch
(aggrandicize)
maybe there is nothing i can do 'cept dream of you
that maybe in another life, you'd see we're meant to be
but every second that i have to know, the pain in me grows
so i stay caught up in a daydream, making up a memory
wishing you could stay here with me
and we could grow so tall
(aggrandicize)
(the grand design)
(aggrandicize)
they always told me i could be a star
but wishful thinking never got me far
i'm not beguiled by the stagnant life
but i don't run on only love and spite
so baby watch me bleed, yeah i bleed
and i bleed till i'm nothing
so you can fill me up like new
oh i can grow so big
(aggrandicize)
and yet i'm never in your view
(the grand design)
HAH, ISN'T THAT JUST SO FUCKING SAD
(aggrandicize)
maybe there is nothing i can do 'cept dream of you
that maybe in another life, i'd be your destiny
but i just think about the way we are, the knife in my heart
so i stay caught up in a daydream, making up a memory
wishing you could stay here with me
and we could grow so tall
(aggrandicize)
redwood sentiment on high
(the grand design)
doesn't it sound like paradise?
(aggrandicize)
i want to want you want me
(i'm caught up in a daydream)
but i catch you indirectly
(i'm making up a memory)
my heart's been broken up for far too long
but i still try to find a self in song
i'm caught up in a daydream
(my face is rendered deathly)
and i'm present only slightly
(i'm caught up in a daydream)
but i stay tethered to the backbeat true
yet i've no rhythm when i'm faced with you
maybe there is nothing i can do 'cept dream of you
that maybe in another life, you'd say "join in the play"
but i don't mind it if it stays unheard, the world will still turn
like sunlight melting in the afterglow, my heart still knows
so when i'm caught up in a daydream
making up a memory
wishing you could stay here with me
i'll let this wake me from the reverie
making better memories
ones where i don't need you with me
(and i can be so small)
