Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wonder what you see
Looking through the magazine
Do you think I'm incomplete
When you're staring back at me?
Are you listening when everything feels paper-thin?
I reach out to touch your skin
But you're just ink glistening
[Chorus]
Poster girl on my wall, I wanna be just like you
A light shining through
Poster girl on my wall, I wanna be just like you
A girl too good to be true
Do you wish you were real?
Do you feel the way I feel
Like you're never enough?
Do you hide all your tears?
Do you dream the way I dream
Of finding someone to love?
[Verse 2]
Lying in my bed
I think a thousand words unsaid
From all the pictures in my head
Where I'm on the wall instead
I know it's all a lie
A made-up construct in my mind
But it feels like you're alive
A moment frozen in time
[Chorus]
Poster girl on my wall, I wanna be just like you
A light shining through
Poster girl on my wall, I wanna be just like you
A girl too good to be true
Do you wish you were real?
Do you feel the way I feel
Like you're never enough?
Do you hide all your tears?
Do you dream the way I dream
Of finding someone to love?
[Bridge]
When I focus on what's perfect, I never notice that
It's the imperfections in moments that make life so worth it
When I capture a split second, it doesn't matter
'Cause It's the imperfections in moments where the magic happens
[Bridge]
I wanna be (Wanna be), wanna be, wanna be, wanna be just like you
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be just like you
(I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be) just like you
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be just like you
[Chorus]
Poster girl on my wall, I wanna be just like you
A light shining through
Poster girl on my wall, I wanna be just like you
A girl too good to be true
Do you wish (You wish) you were real? (You were real)
Do you feel the way I feel? (I feel)
Like you're never enough
Do you hide (You hide) all your tears? (All your tears)
Do you dream the way I dream (I dream)
Of finding someone to love?
[Outro]
Finding someone to love
Poster girl on my wall
