Just to be clear, I've always been aware
I'm not as naive as I ought to be
You came and shook my hand
It wasn't anything magical, but that's how it began
Ever since then I
Lost a bit of focus
Elevator rides make me nervous
I'd rather take the stairs
You are the affable dork
In fictional books that I've read and fallen in love with
And I am no manic pixie dream
That you would fancy your way over to me
There must be some kind of mistake
♪
Maybe I'm in over my head but
Maybe there's just something about us
Picture this
You and I, unconventionally crossing the line
We could go together like a
Well-behaved Lady Day and John Coltrane
On a summertime and the living is easy kind of way
You are the affable dork
In fictional books that I've read and fallen in love with
And I am no manic pixie dream
That you would fancy your way over to me
There must be some kind of mistake
I don't know how this is supposed to go
Nobody handed me the manuscript, yeah, I better go
Trust me, I'm not the girl you want for this role
You see, I've already ruined the story
But if you insist, go ahead take the risk
It'll be a plot twist if I were your leading lady
You see, I'd gladly be the one you choose
Oh, I'd gladly be the one for-
You are the affable dork
In fictional books that I've read and fallen in love with
And I am no manic pixie dream
That you would fancy your way over to me
If this is some kind of mistake
Then it's the best one you'll ever make
You see, I've already ruined the story
Let's just hope for a happy ending
