Parasocial Promise

[Verse 1]

I know something you don't

You’ll have to trust me on this

The way you think that you want me

Honey, it don’t exist

I know you stand in the light

And you try to be seen

Babe I see you and more

Come on now listen to me

So listen to me

I looked at someone

The same way you say you see me

And I stood in the light

Hoping I would be seen

God when he sang about it

I’d be happy to die

Two gins and ten songs

I must have cried the whole night

[Chorus]

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan (Just be a fan)

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan

You might ache till you’re mad

But you’d lose what you had

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan

So just be a fan

[Verse 2]

We connected in town

Small talk coffee on me

My hands shook under the table

Can’t believe that he speaks

Sounded just like the record

When he laid out his year

Pretended I didn’t notice

Thought that that would be weird

[Chorus]

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan (Just be a fan)

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan

You imagine a scene

But it’s only a dream

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan

So just be a fan

[Verse 3]

As it turns out that song

Didn’t mean what I thought

I wish that I didn’t know

Yeah I preferred it before

I try to cry like I used to

When I think of him now

But all that comes up

Is awkward coffee in town

[Chorus]

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan (Just be a fan)

Yeah it’s better to just be a fan

I’d fill in all of the cracks

And you’d just want me back

Yeah it’s better to just be

You’ll have to trust me

It’s better to just be a fan

So just be a fan
