Chereads / Dancing Alone In The Dark/Straight Man’s Fantasy: Lyric Book ACT I & 2 / Chapter 19 - 7. White Picket Fence Boy Ft. Taylor Russell

Chapter 19 - 7. White Picket Fence Boy Ft. Taylor Russell

Verse 1 /

Breaking guitars and screaming "never stop playing"

To leaving most shows two hours early 

I can't stay and you can't love me

To standing in the pouring rain without you 

Making me doubt you and everything I've ever believed wasn't true 

I thought I was made for you-

Pre chorus /

You captured me in your eyes

Your love caught me by surprise

trapped me in your pocket watch 

2:38 is the time 

never making it past September 

only a three-month thing 

Chorus /

I just wanna know if I'm worth it

don't know where things are going

or what you mean or where to begin

call us a merry-go-round.

you were a hunter and I was your prey 

You were my Clyde I was your Bonny 

You made me feel life for a second in time 

White picket fence boy 

White picket fence boy

Post chorus /

felt overlooked when you were around 

gaslit me so much i started to believe it

making wishes on melodie's that only spoke our truths 

paint us all black and blue

Verse 2 / 

I stood there quietly while allowing you to deface my name

baby, how did you think I was going to go down in vain?

They say " you reap what you sow " 

Gave you my heart and you skipped it down River Casino 

Pre chorus /

called me a blip in time but - 

you were just a white picket fence boy

just some cameraman at a hard rock show

where i could have had the lead singer but decided to stoop so low.

Chorus /

I just wanna know if I'm worth it

don't know where things are going

or what you mean or where to begin

call us a merry-go-round.

you were a hunter and I was your prey 

You were my Clyde I was your Bonny 

You made me feel life for a second in time 

White picket fence boy 

White picket fence boy

Post chorus /

felt overlooked when you were around 

gaslit me so much i started to believe it

making wishes on melodie's that only spoke our truths 

paint us all black and blue
