Reading me like a magazine
I don't wanna be made a paper dreams
You always get me out of my head again
Swear I'm just a mess in a pretty dress
But you come and steady all my spinnin' out
I'm just fine
Kissing in your backseat
Call you mine
Listening to you sleep
Think I might need you more than I thought
If I'm gonna be bending ove backwards for anyone
It's you
Been the same thought I'd never change
But you played your way through all my games
Now I'm wrapped up in you and your denim jacket
Let me have it
You took on all of my sad and made it all feel new
I'm just fine
Kissing in your backseat
Call you mine
Listening to you sleep
Think I might need you more than I thought
If I'm gonna be handing over my hurt
If I'm gonna be bending over backwars for anyone
It's you
If I'm honest you're my favorite part of me
My favorite part of me
I'm just fine
Kissing in you backseat
Call you mine
Listening to you sleep
Think I might need you more than I thought
I'm just fine
Kissing in you backseat
Call you mine
Listening to you sleep
Think I might need you more than I thought
If I'm gonna be handing over my hurt
If I'm gonna be bending over backwards
If I'm gonna be bending over backwards for anyone
It's you
I'd twist and turn to be just what you need
Even thought I know you'd never ask me to
I'd bend over backwards for you
