Em7
Desire, tidal wave, I can’t tame it
I’m not a water bender, can’t change it
F#m7
I’m thinking maybe I need a surfboard (Surfboard)
Just gotta ride it out, get it all out
When you’re not mine, am I allowed?
Em7
When I was a secret, you kept me
Skinny divorcé, do you regret me?
F#m7
I’m thinking maybe,
Should we go back? Stay friends?
Keep all the benefits?
Em7
We could sneak around like we’re on tour
F#m7
Even if that’s all you want me for, for
You could call me Miss Paramour

Like I miss real ink on a page

Who knew, who knew my baby
Who knew the hard times were the good ol’ days?

Blissin’ out to music we made

Have to get it out my system
Don’t like songs about you, don’t listen

If I’m being honest, I’m almost done
Not easy letting go of the one

I’m not Stevie, I won’t hex ya
But my voice may surely vex ya
F#m7
For that I’m sorry (Sorry)
I just want to love ya, but you won’t let me
