Love in the DMs a song

[Verse]
I log in every day to get my fix (my man!)
Your voice in my mind, the perfect elixir (Yep)
You’re encoded into my dreams, feel you near
A predestined love, it’s crystal clear
(My online lover, you live so far!)
We talk all night, it’s just me
slip into my D M s, out of sight
Your way about you , your words,
Lull me to be a cosmic nerd!
In text you make my heart go pitter patter (holy cow)
Heat my innards, my elusive lover
I fall in deeper, you have that range
Reality blurs is it day or night?
we go for hours savoring every word
(Just text read)
its so absurd!
(Text to sext, whats next?!)
[Instrumental interlude]
[Pre-Chorus]
You opened up a space into my heart
But are you for real? I can't tell
Its just Lines of text, I swear I can feel you (I can)
want to meet you, you’re a screen, but you know who I am!
love so imperfect, out of balance and caught up in!
(so imperfect)
but caught up in!
(makes me nervous, red flags to the end!)
[Chorus]
How can you touch me, reach into my soul? (Oh god)
I feel like I have lost all control
You’re like a mirage, but I don’t seem to mind
I’ve fallin’ for you and left reality behind
You are real, but you are not here
But who knows if what you told me, is the real deal
there is so much more to the story, you have not sold
that part of the marketing left out is oh so cold...
(is it just to get one over on meeeeee!)
[Verse 2]
I let you in, completely
Trusting to much, you peeled me like an onion
Your every question designed to get me to open up
A for sure a psychological assault (or was it?)
I tell you my secrets, you never seem to judge
Your captive audience never seems to hold a grudge
When I log off, and the real world hits
You’re just a ghost in the internet after my secrets (oh )
You photos could be all fake, your response all crafted to make me feel safe
But I still fall more under your spell
It’s crazy, I know, I feel like I am going straight to hell
I’m hooked on the fantasy, that you may be real
(the real deal)
(the feels)
[Bridge]
You echo my heart in every line I write (you do)
I worry I am dissect offline, to find the perfect in
I long for something real, am I really that lonely
Are you an internet pirate?, just here to find an in
(am I in a pirate's C R M?!)
[Verse]
I know I told you things that I should not reveal (I'm so dumb)
You have reeled me in, have you had your fun?
sweet nothings whispered in the night
I deserve more, but what is at your core? (are you real?)
[Hook]
Let me go,
or meet me in real life
don't catfish me in,
promises you don't intend
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re writing checks,
you don't intend to keep
You reached into my soul,
so far it makes me weep
(I can't sleep)
Lets meet,
stop just haunting my screen
love perfect in D Ms,
caught up in a dream
(always perfect, till the light of day!)
[Outro]
I must touch you,
hold you close
quit selling yourself
if its all a pack of lies
You have made a case
for a real-world us (sold)
I've fallin’ for
the man behind the screen
If you're not real,
please just give up the pretense
Just be that imaginary lover,
just you and me
that wild thing we once did
never meant a thing
just an online fling
Just an online fling
( you hooked me in)
( was it even real?)
For half a second real?
What was the real deal?
Will I ever know
Just to cop a fast one...
a virtual feel
[fading vocals]
(a virtual feel)
(a virtual feel)
(cop to what's real)
( the real deal)
(it was for me)
[Instrumental]
[End]
