When we're playing the pool

I'm in love in a dive bar

It ain’t our parents’ story

But I’ll take it and try hard

To keep my focus on the table

Faded blue jeans you said you bleached them with your mom

Folded-over cuff as if they were too long

You wrote your number on the label

And I'm picturing you right now (I'm thinking you right now)

‘Cause I wanna do all of the things, baby, I said I wanna do with you

Less this a lie, and I don’t know myself like a thought

Wait this a mess, I could be wrong

I could be so damn mistaken

But I'm picturing you right now (I'm thinking you right now)

I'm think you right now with nothing on

With nothing on but your perfume

Call me in the morning, beg me the night

I’ll be over safely you need it anytime

I'm picturing you right now with nothing on

With nothing on but your perfume

Bending over backwards to stay up in your head

Did I waste it all falling back with an old friend?

I don’t believe what this has come to

You tell me when you’re older you’ll run back to the forest

To get a little distance from the buildings and tourists

I was hoping I would come, too

Tell me when you’re hurting, we can take a ride

Escape the mess in your apartment, leave your phone behind

‘Cause if we started driving early, we’ll make it back in time

Or you could call in sick to work, and could spend the night

You make me wanna know my way around your mind

‘Till I can make it through your mazes, and when your master mine

You’ll find that, baby, like a told you, any given night

I’ll be over safely you need it anytime

I'm picturing you right now

I'm thinking you right now

I'm picturing you right now with nothing on

With nothing on but your perfume

Call me in the morning, beg me the night

I’ll be over safely you need it anytime

I'm picturing you right now with nothing on

With nothing on but your perfume
