Pages Between Us

Verse 1

Blue light glowing at 2 AM again

Tracing your smile on a digital screen

They say it’s crazy, that I’m living in my head

But it hurts a lot less than the words never said

No broken promises, no looking for excuses

Just perfect scenarios, and endless possibilities

Chorus

I’m in love with someone made of paper and ink

More real than any of the people I think

I’d rather chase a ghost in a favorite story

Than face a heart break that ruins all the glory

Oh, I’m safe in the pages, holding your hand

Loving a character in a fictional land

Verse 2

They tell me to wake up, to look at the real world

But they don’t know your backstory, or how your life unfurled

I know your secrets, I’ve read all your lines

You’re the only one who fits with my crazy designs

Intimacy in scenes that I can re-read

You’re everything I need, and you don’t even see me

Chorus

I’m in love with someone made of paper and ink

More real than any of the people I think

I’d rather chase a ghost in a favorite story

Than face a heart break that ruins all the glory

Oh, I’m safe in the pages, holding your hand

Loving a character in a fictional land

Bridge

Why would I settle for a dull reality?

When I can have your pixelated perfection right here with me

It’s a quiet devotion, just for my eyes

A beautiful, perfect, harmless disguise

Chorus

I’m in love with someone made of paper and ink

More real than any of the people I think

I’d rather chase a ghost in a favorite story

Than face a heart break that ruins all the glory

Oh, I’m safe in the pages, holding your hand

Loving a character in a fictional land

Outro

Closing the book now.

See you in my dreams.

My perfect fiction.

It's enough, it seems.
