Lyrics of Picture You by Chappell Roan
verse
Draw the blinds
Light every candle
Slip off my pretty dress down my chest
While I think of you
Every night
Both lips on the mirror
It′s ritualistic, counting lipstick
Stains where you should be
pre-chorus
Oh
I need you around
I'm getting close now
chorus
Do you picture me like I picture you? (Oh)
Am I in the frame from your point of view? (Oh)
Do you feel the same? I′m too scared to say (oh)
Half of the things I do
hook
When I picture you
verse
So, tell me now (tell me now)
All your perversions (oh, oh)
Am I doing research (am I?) in a mini skirt
At the library in your hometown?
pre-chorus
Oh
I need you around
I'm getting close now
chorus
Do you picture me like I picture you? (Oh)
Am I in the frame from your point of view? (Oh)
Do you feel the same? I'm too scared to say (oh)
Half of the things I do
hook
When I picture you
When I picture you
bridge
Ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
chorus
Do you picture me like I picture you?
Am I in the frame from your point of view?
Do you feel the same? I′m too scared to say
Half of the things I do
outro
When I picture you
