Verse 1
All I ever wanted to be
Was a pop song, for you to sing
The one that you’d like to play
As the day slips away, and you need to swing

Bridge 1
My melodies are nothing if they’re not stuck in your head
My rhythms are lost if they’re not rattling your bed

Verse 2
All I ever knew how to do
Was tell a lie, but sing it true
Somewhere between middle and high brow
I’m singing it now, sticky like glue

Instrumental Break

Bridge 2
I feel left behind and sooner or later you’ll find
That this song fails to exist anywhere but inside your mind

Verse 3
All I ever wanted to be
Was a pop song, to make your heart soar
The one you play when you feel good
Or when you’re misunderstood, too warm to ignore
