stupid song Lyrics - Olivia Rodrigo

[Verse 1]
New York City's never looked so blue
My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
They say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel free
And all the girls at this party are so cool
That's never been a thing that I could do
But I can't help but imagine what you say when you speak with me
[Chorus]
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
[Verse 2]
Walking through the park with my head high
Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
And if there is a god, he's the bond that's between us two
Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
I'm sleeping in my dress and my high heels
And I'm too shy to say what I see when I dream of you (When I dream of you)
[Chorus] 
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
[Bridge]
Every night like the one before
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
Positively and truly sure
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore
[Outro]
I'm going crazy, I'm going mad
I want you, baby, so bad
