a work of fiction - lauren mayberry lyrics

[verse 1]
summertime
spent bending truths and bodies
whispers in hotel lobbies
perfect crime
things you said
that first caught my attention
were laced with such pretension
but i didn’t see it then

[chorus]
what if all i want is a work of fiction?
a way to run away from my own ambition
i know denial’s an odd addiction
i kept playing the game
nostalgia is such a vicious creature
another way to say that you fear the future
i see it now as a different picture
fading frame by frame

[verse 2]
so naive
i fretted over smile lines
scr*ped meanings out of star signs
treading time
“we’ll be fine” became my benediction
a sacred premonition to make you sweet again
[chorus]
what if all i want is a work of fiction?
a way to run away from my own ambition
i know denial’s an odd addiction
i kept playing the game
nostalgia is such a vicious creature
another way to say that you fear the future
i see it now as a different picture
fading frame by frame

[outro]
silver tongue best left unsung
i use these days as a method of correction
for how i lived when i was young
