[Verse 1]
And I'll pawn my dignity
And trade it in for a look outside
At the birds and the bees in my love
And she'll erase her memory
Replace it with an ocean blues
An elegant ruse

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
And I'll take off my skin
And wrap it around you
A tale of one to two
We'll distort our memories
And trade them in for some time outside
Where we're alive, we're alive, we're alive

[Bridge]
And if all is left are the rhymes in my head
I'll take you there someday
And swim with me in an ocean of coffee
As I shake all through the night

[Refrain]
I need you to be something more
I need you to be something more
I need you to be something more
I need you to be something more
I need you to be something boring
I need you to be something boring
I need you to be something boring
I need you to be something boring
I need you to be something real
I need you to be something real
I need you to be something real
I need you to be something real
