Verse 1
Can we be done with melodrama
Fictional sincerity
Let’s make a heaven out of hell
Paint our little worries pink
Yesterday is done and over
The future’s not for us to see
Just be right here and now forever
The way you love me, I’ll love me
I’ll love you
Chorus 1
The way I love you, you can love you too
Look in my eyes, you’ll know it’s true
The way I love you, you can love you too
What little things you think that you’ve done wrong
I forgive it all, if you forgive yourself too
Ooh, forgive yourself too

Gray wheat on snow-covered fields
Between patches of trees, the kind that stays green.
Scratch damp earth to freeze my fingers.
Fire towers, out of use.
Oh, God, I wish the sky were blue.
Quiet mornings, I’ll play along. I’ll make no noise
Mirrored patchwork of clouds patterned in the sky
Old stained-glass windows in repurposed homes
I’d push it all away but then I’d feel alone.
When did this decay begin to feel like home?
Is it right for me to feel so wrong
When I have so much but seem to want it all?
All this gold and ash, wicker wound in string,
Is it okay to miss the little things?

Okay class!
All eyes on me!
In a spoken word poem
In either rhythm or prose
Why draw attention to the final refrain?
(Do it for the)
When you’re out to see a show
But you know how it’ll go
What keeps the audiences coming back for more?
(Do it for the)
In a musical piece
When you’re changing the key
Why ritardando before striking the chord?
Do it for the...
When you’re having a date
And the hour gets late
Why’s it so fun to keep leading him on?
Do it for the ...
Dot it for the...
Do it for the...
Do it for the drama!
Be secure
Oh la la
Break my heat
I wasn’t on ya
Do it for the DRAMA
Lie to yourself
Put your heart up on a shelf
They can’t hurt you if there’s nothing more to do
Do it for the DRAMA
Oh do it for the...
Quick-shot
Cash out
Lost my money
What about it?
