It ain’t hard to define
Jessie’s got himself a girl

And I want to make her mine
And she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night

I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

I’ll play along with this charade
There doesn’t seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot
And she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night

I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ what she don’t see in me
I’ve been funny; I’ve been cool with the lines
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be?

I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that? oooh

Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

(Chorus:)
When I close my eyes

I dream in color
But my life’s in black and white

Will it ever get better
I’m not monochromatic
Nobody’s monochromatic

(Verse 2)
Everybody’s hurting
There’s nothing more human than that
See the pieces of heart’s missing
But watch how the light fills the cracks
My heart’s too big for the city
My heart’s too big for my own body
My heart’s too big for you to understand me
Please understand me

(Chorus:)
When I close my eyes

I dream in color
My life’s in black and white

But it’ll get better
I’m not monochromatic
Nobody’s monochromatic
Nobody’s monochromatic
I’m not monochromatic

I offer souvenirs
A deaf tongue and blinded ears
Can you fill the shelves in here
Come in, come in

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don’t know how to fill the space
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

I want you want to want me like I’m all you got
Mama she see it but can’t make me stop
Telling the truth it might mean you keep poking but that didn’t hurt
That’s my method of coping
Daughter sees him like that smoke in my lungs
What they project on me what I’ve become
Down on my knees, unsure what to say
No I never learned how to pray

Don’t know know who I’ve been fooling
but you’ve got me running in circles I’m ruined
Let you inside, opened up all my wounds
Taken my ribcage and ripped it in two

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don’t know how to fill the space
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

Tie it from my tendons
Watch how they stretch
Oh I’ve got the muscle
Lord I’m spent
Knocking down my sternum
Again, at a young age
Too much space between
Open up my ribcage

I offer souvenirs
A deaf tongue and blinded ears
Can you fill the shelves in here
Come in, come in

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don’t know how to fill the space
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

There’s impenetrable silence inside of my head
There’s nothing I can buy when I’m practically dead
I get so tired of writing everything I should have said
That maybe this time I’ll put my pen down and just tell you instead
You see I opened up my ribcage and violins flew out
The organs softly played through my violin mouth
I got lights hotter than love hidden beneath my tongue
Written on my skin
Tells me your the one

Everybody look around
Everybody look around
I don’t know how to fill the space
The invitations on the page
Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage
Open up my ribcage

Open up my ribcage

I’m reminded that night is only half the time

Even when I’m hurting
I know that this is worth it
Tell me it’ll be alright
Gotta give me something
To get me through the nothing
One more night

(CHORUS)
Kiss me like the world is gonna disappear
I’m a better person when I have you here
I , I, I got you and I can get though anything
As long as I can see your face
Right now you’re so far away
So far away,
you’re so far away
So far away

I don’t need a map

To tell me where you are
You and I come from the same star
Every day is a heart ache
And every night I lie awake
I’m reminded the bed is only half mine

Even when I’m hurting
I know that this is worth it
Tell me it’ll be alright
Gotta give me something
To get me through the nothing
One more night

(CHORUS)
Kiss me like the world is gonna disappear
I’m a better person when I have you here
I , I, I got you and I can get though anything
As long as I can see your face
Right now you’re so far away
So far away,
you’re so far away
So far away

Nobody’s got the time,
nobody’s got the time
nobody’s got the time for love
Nobody’s got the time,
nobody’s got the time
nobody’s got the time for love

Kiss me like the world is gonna disappear
I’m a better person when I have you here
I , I, I got you and I can get though anything
As long as I can see your face
Kiss me like the world is gonna disappear
I’m a better person when I have you here
I , I, I got you and I can get though anything
As long as I can see your face

Right now you’re so far away
So far away,
you’re so far away
So far away
