lyrics

I caught her like a cold in August
Is there a pill to stop the body aches?
She touched my hand said
“Wanna be chaotic”
I’ll do my time and pray it all away

She took all my plans and tossed ‘em
Drew up all my lines and crossed ‘em
Caution
Talking to a guilty conscious
I don’t really think I’m seeing straight

If I was born another time another state
Would I be torn between someone you love
and someone you tolerate
I’m too afraid of what you think and who’s above
But if she was a boy
I’d be in love
I’d be in love

I’d be in love (x3)

Maybe it's just cause she’s got a British accent
Maybe it’s just cause I wanna look like her
It’s just a phase, I’ll brush it off
And I won’t think about her touch or
How her skin and hair and lips would pull me under

If I was born another time another state
Would I be torn between someone you love
and someone you tolerate
I’m too afraid of what you think and who’s above
But if she was a boy
I’d be in love
I’d be in love

If I was born another time another state
Would I be torn between someone you love
and someone you tolerate
I’m too afraid of what you think and who’s above
But if she was a boy
I’d be in love
I’d be in love

I’d be in love (x10)
