affable dork

Just to be clear, I've always been aware

I'm not as naive as I ought to be

You came and shook my hand

It wasn't anything magical, but that's how it began, yeah

Ever since then, I lost a bit of focus

Elevator rides make me nervous

I'd rather take the stairs

You are the affable dork

In fictional books that I've read and fallen in love within

I am no manic pixie dream

That you would fancy your way over to me

There must be some kind of mistake

Maybe I'm in over my head

Maybe there's something about us

Picture this, you and I unconventionally crossing the line

We could go together like a

Well-behaved lady day and John Coltrane

On a summertime and the living is easy kind of way

You are the affable dork

In fictional books that I've read and fallen in love within

I am no manic pixie dream

That you would fancy your way over to me

There must be some kind of mistake

I don't know how this is supposed to go

Nobody handed me the manuscript, yeah

I better go, trust me, I'm not the girl you want for this role

You see, I've already ruined the story

But if you insist go ahead, take the risk

It'll be a plot twist if I were your leading lady

You see, I'd gladly be the one you choose

Oh, I'd gladly be the one for

You are the affable dork

In fictional books that I've read and fallen in love within

I am no manic pixie dream

That you would fancy your way over to me

If this is some kind of mistake

Then it's the best one you'll ever make

You see, I've already ruined the story

Let's just hope for a happy ending
