Picture In My Mind
pinkpantheress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So similar to me, it scares me
I'm impatient, I can't wait to see
What it is that brought you to be
Identical to me, it's frightening
So, why are we together?
Now when we sometimes do disagree, I like it
But sometimes feel some way when you choose to leave
And sometimes, I just can't stand to be with you, that's why
Thought I knew this all along
I had a picture in my mind
So please don't try and call my bluff
I don't think we can try to fight it
So, why are we together?
I knew this all along
I had a picture in my mind
So please don't try and call my bluff
We've put both of our hearts on the line
Take what's yours and, darling, I'll take mine
Headfirst inside the deepest dive
I've been waiting for you my whole life
Now when you see me, you walk the other way
I guess it's easy to say you never saw me that day
And with my intent about you, why can't we make amends?
I'll never see you again, I think you're more of a friend
Now when we sometimes do disagree, I like it
It's a sign you don't think like me, that's fine
But sometimes feel some way when you choose to leave
Sometimes, I just can't stand to be with you, that's why
Thought I knew this all along
I had a picture in my mind
So please don't try and call my bluff
I don't think I can try to fight it
So, why are we together?
Thought I knew this all along
I had a picture in my mind
So please don't try and call my bluff
We've put both of our hearts on the line
Take what's yours and, darling, I'll take mine
Headfirst inside the deepest dive
I've been waiting for you my whole life
I knew this all along
I had a picture in my mind
So please don't try and call my bluff
We've put both of our hearts on the line
Take what's yours and, darling, I'll take mine
Headfirst inside the deepest dive
I've been waiting for you my whole life
