Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
My castle crumbled overnight,
I brought a knife to a gunfight,
They took the crown, but it's alright.
All the liars are calling me one,
Nobody's heard from me for months,
I'm doing better than I ever was.

[Chorus:]
‘Cause my baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down,
I'm the one he's walking to,
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene,
Loves me like I'm brand new,
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.

[Verse 2:]
All my flowers grew back as thorns,
Windows boarded up after the storm,
He built a fire just to keep me warm.
All the drama queens taking swings,
All the jokers dressing up as kings,
They fade to nothing when I look at him.
And I know I make the same mistakes every time,
Bridges burn, I never learn,
At least I did one thing right, I did one thing right,
I'm laughing with my lover,
Making forts under covers,
Trust him like a brother.
Yeah, you know I did one thing right,
Starry eyes're sparking up my darkest night.

[Chorus:]
‘Cause my baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down,
I'm the one he's walking to,
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene,
Loves me like I'm brand new,
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.

[Bridge:]
I want to wear his initial on a chain around my neck,
Chain round my neck,
Not because he owns me
But 'cause he really knows me,
Which is more than they can say.
I recall late November,
Holding my breath, slowly I said, "You don't need to save me,
But would you run away with me?"
Yes.

[Chorus:]
My baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down,
I'm the one he's walking to,
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene,
Loves me like I'm brand new,
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.

[Outro:]
Call it what you want, call it what you want,
Call it what you want, call it what you want,
Call it what you want, call it what you want,
Call it what you want, call it what you want,
Call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to.
