I wanna be a pretty person
I wish I had a pretty girl
I envy all the pretty people
Living in their pretty world
Wanna wake up where the grass is greener
Can't help wishing for diamonds, pearls
Hard and shiny but they'd look so lovely
Look so pretty on a pretty girl

I hope you know
I think in slow
Slow motion, motion
I know you know
I dream in slow
Slow motion, motion

I wanna be the perfect person
Would do anything to live my dream
But it seems I gotta just be happy
Living in reality
Keep scrolling through these perfect faces
For some reason, I don't feel complete
Life isn't what you see in movies
People don't act like they do on screen

I hope you know
I think in slow
Slow motion, motion
I know you know
I dream in slow
Slow motion, motion

Won't you take me back to a time when I know that I knew myself
Won't you take me back to a place where I know that I won't need help
Take me back to a time when I didn't know, where I wanna go
What I wanna know is why this has to happen to me
I wanna be free but I'm not, cuz I can see that some things
That I want, that I wish, that I hope, that I dream, they won't be happening
Someone said ignorance is bliss, you know that I told you this
I know too much, I must insist, don't wanna be on your list

I hope you know
I think in slow
Slow motion, motion
I know you know
I dream in slow
Slow motion, motion

I'm finding it harder to write this song than I thought that it would have been all along
Cuz to bear your soul is to bare it all, and I'm barely sold on this barren wall
Where I sold my soul just to feel your breath, all eyes on you, all I see instead
Are the cliche words filling up your page: repeat, resend, regurgitate
I will use my words cuz I have to ask why you hide your face underneath that mask
I don't wanna hear petty complaints, but actual fears and real mistakes
Cuz really deep inside, I need to feel justified
And right now, you're just a pretty face
