about

Power Pop duo with sporadic Riot Grrrl attitude-- does he say you're perfect, that you're the one, all while he stares at the fictional one?

lyrics

Here he says you’re perfect
Does it mean that much if he’s not looking?
At you for that long, he’s too caught up,
Wording his sentence that you are the one

In a book, on tv, he says that girl looks just like me

Nanananana
Nanananana
You look like that girl from my dream
Nanananana
Nanananana
I think I’ll go back to sleep

CHORUS
They say it's a rose-colored tint
But no, you're seeing full-out in pink
Painted thick, you’ll run into things
That’s how you tripped, you didn't fall for me

Can you even see through the painted glass
If you look my way,
Are you just looking past?
Your past time is staring
At a picture of me
Replicated beauty, but suddenly
Photogenic in photos, in person I blink
Say to rest my lips, don’t feel like listening

Nanananana
Nanananana
Now you’re just a poser, poster on my wall
Nanananana
Nanananana
Stick figure’s easier than photoshop
Nanananana
Nanananana
Paint over it for the copyright
Nanananana
Nanananana
Why look at you when I could watch paint dry?

Can you even see through your built-up haze
What you make me out to be, I can't live up to it,
Adjectives describe myself, but you leave out almost everything

She’s fiction
Do you want me or a picture of me?
She’s fiction
Do you want affection or something to put on your shelf?
She’s fiction

CHORUS
They say it's a rose-colored tint
But no, you're seeing full-out in pink
Painted thick, you’ll run into things
That’s how you tripped, you didn't fall for me

Here he says you’re his number one
But he’s looking at the wall instead
Face the fact, you came in last, the poster doesn’t interrupt him when he talks

In a book, on tv, he says that girl looks just like me

Nanananana
Nanananana
You look like the girl from my dream
Nanananana
Nanananana
I think I’ll go back to sleep

Feels like I’m looking out
Your hands reaching towards my paper skin
I can’t feel your touch
Voice in the distance
Bring chaos and its pet: destruction
Plan my escape
Cut through the barrier
The poster’s torn to shreds

Blank page
The girl is gone
Disguises off
End of Mulan
As you look over my shoulder,
You’re still looking at the poster

Nanananana
She’s fiction
