"Never The Muse" lyrics

Always the artist, never the muse
Crave your attention, you don't have a clue
Keep locking eyes from across crowded rooms
Did you catch my glance or were you looking too?

Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-ooh
Ooo-oooh

Always the poet, never the poetry
Wanna be somebody you only see once in your life
But remember forever
Eyes sharp as a knife, hair soft as a feather
Compare me to a summer's day
Something romantic yet charmingly clever
I, I, I...

I wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feed
And beg me to pose, beg me to be
Your Euterpe, Erato, Terpsichore
Write of my smile, sculpt me of clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that

I'm your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I'm your muse
See me the same way that I see you, you, you

Always the viewer, never the view
Never the messy yet sweet ingénue
Romanticize me
Fantasize about all the ways I'd ruin your life
Keep locking eyes from across crowded rooms
Did you catch my glance or were you looking too?
Overthink every time that we speak
And write up a song dedicate to me
I, I, I...

I wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose, beg me to be
Polyhymnia, Clio, Urania, please
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that

I'm your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I'm your muse
See me the same way that I see you, you, you

Guess this is what I wanted
What I set out to do
So why do I feel so small?
A fly on the wall
Someone just notice me, don't let me only be
Just what I guess I wanted
Stuck in a bird's eye view
Tell me, why do I feel small?
A fly on the wall
Someone just notice me
Don't let me only be

Always the artist, never the muse
Crave your attention, you don't have a clue
Romanticize me
Fantasize about all the ways I'd ruin your life
Sailor and siren just drown in my eyes
Something erotic that gives butterflies
Call me your pearl, your sweet Gibson girl
I'm selfish, I'm vain
Just say I'm your world

I wanna become all of the rays of the sun
Shining down on your face on a warm day
I wanna be the fresh ocean breeze
Fall to your knees at my feet
And beg me to pose, beg me to be
Your Calliope, Thalia, Melpomene
Write of my smile, sculpt me in clay
Use every metaphor you can to say that

I'm your muse
See me the same way that I see you
I'm your muse

Aa-aa-aah

See me the same way that I see you
