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
