I've been deconstructing the archives of my life
Here on earth floating through my mind
I've fallen in love and I've fallen apart
I left a trail of tears behind this broken heart
I need something that fits I need someone who saves
I need something good to come my way
I need a manic pixie dream girl to guide me through my life
I'm just a white male savior trope and I need a heavenly guide
Someone better than me in every way
A quirky cheerful optimist looking for some punk to save
Oh, manic pixie dream girl come take me away
She has crazy ideas and eyes full of stars
She'll take you all OF the way, but you won't get that far
When she speaks it's like music on a train
You can't hear the words, but you're singing it while you're walking away
I need something that fits I need someone who saves
I need something good to come my way
I need a manic pixie dream girl to guide me through my life
I'm just a white male savior trope and I need a heavenly guide
Someone better than me in every way
A quirky cheerful optimist looking for some lost soul to save
Oh, manic pixie dream girl come take me away
Oh, manic pixie dream girl come take me away
