"realistic" lyrics

I'm not good at saying the way that I feel
Expressing emotions becomes an ordeal
But you're something special, oh, so I guess I'll try
I've read through some poems like Annabelle Lee
But it sounds like pizza covered in cheese
Some have come close, but they never get it right

I could say forever, but that shit sounds crazy
'Cause I'm not psychic even if you date me
There's things that just happen, a chance that we'll lose it
I won't be possessive, I won't hold you to it
Maybe I'm a skeptic or maybe I'm realistic

I can't take you out to the beach every day
Or fly you to China, Maui, or Bombay
But I'll make your coffee and I'll do your laundry too
When you do your taxes, I'll kiss on your cheek
When life hints you lemons, just throw them at me
It won't be a movie, but maybe a scene or two

I could say forever, but that shit sounds crazy
'Cause I'm not psychic even if you date me
There's things that just happen, a chance that we'll lose it
I won't be possessive, I won't hold you to it
Maybe I'm a skeptic or maybe I'm realistic

My parents are divorced
There's a fifty per cent chance
That our love will just fail
Guess it's out of my hands
Fuck Hallmark and Pixar
Fuck exaggeration
Fuck every love song
A gamble for this one

I could say forever, but that shit sounds crazy
'Cause I'm not psychic, I won't hold you to it
Maybe I'm a skeptic or maybe I'm realistic
