You're a pretty young thing, and that much is true
I'm looking for the right words to say to you
But they keep falling out my mouth, and I don't know what to do
I keep coming to your court and I'm acting your fool
I'm a young boy who's trying to be a man
I keep on pretending like I ain't got a plan
But I want to reach out and take a hold of your hand
Go down that rabbit hole just to see where it ends
Because love's a parasite and I am the host
I keep falling in love with that little girl's ghost
She keeps on passing me by, does she even know
That I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go?
By the age of 21 I had all figured out
If she'd ever fall for me it would've happened by now
But then she flashes those eyes and I'm knocked back down
For one more trip on this merry-go-round
My love is Jay Gatsby mixed with Dorian Gray
I know it's unreturned but it will not fade away
Is she my Pulitzer Prize or just a book on a shelf,
a story that I made up and fed to myself?
And you're a pretty young thing and that much is true
I'm looking for the right words to say to you
I figured them out, so here I go, 1-2
I will walk away now unless you don't want me to
