Lyrics

If She Was a Boy

I caught her like a cold in August
Is there a pill to stop the body aches?
She touched my hair, said "wanna be chaotic?"
I'll do my time and pray it all away
She took all my plans and tossed them
Drew up all my lines and crossed them
Caution, talking to a guilty conscience
I don't really think I'm seeing straight

If I was born another time, another state
Would I be torn between someone you love and someone you tolerate?
I'm too afraid of what you think and who's above
But if she was a boy I'd be in love, I'd be in love
I'd be in love, I'd be in love, I'd be in love

Maybe it's just 'causе she's got a British accent
Maybe it's just 'causе I want to look like her
It's just a phase, I'll brush it off
And I won't think about to touch her
How her skin and hair and lips would pull me under

If I was born another time, another state
Would I be torn between someone you love and someone you tolerate?
I'm too afraid of what you think and who's above
But if she was a boy I'd be in love, I'd be in love
If I was born another time, another state
Would I be torn between someone you love and someone you tolerate?
I'm too afraid of what you think and who's above
But if she was a boy I'd be in love, I'd be in love
I'd be in love, I'd be in love, I'd be in love
I'd be in love, I'd be in love, I'd be in love
I'd be in love, I'd be in love, I'd be in love
I'd be in love
