I WANT TO BELIEVE

[Verse 1] It feels like yesterday was yesterday again Every morning starts the same way it ends I make my coffee, check my phone Convince myself I’m not alone Some influencer sells me grace While the sky just stares me in the face And I start to think this whole charade Is God’s idea of clickbait [Pre-Chorus] Could you imagine? I mean, could you imagine? Something weird enough to make it all make sense? [Chorus] I want to believe In Bigfoot and telepathy In ghosts that call collect from dreams And UFOs above the Dairy Queen I want to believe In love that don’t decay In anything that won’t explain away --- [Verse 2] I think I’m in love with the unknown It’s the only thing that feels like home The same four walls, the same old show But maybe there’s a signal in the snow I read about a psychic in Duluth Who swore she met the absolute And I thought, “Hell, if she can find it there Maybe I could too — if I still cared.” [Pre-Chorus] Could you imagine? I mean, could you imagine? If miracles had mailing lists And wonder came in monthly kits [Chorus] I want to believe In something I can’t see A flicker in the frequency A rumor of infinity I want to believe That magic’s not naïve That mystery’s still ours to keep --- [Bridge] So why don’t you take me Show me your spaceship I promise I won’t tell my friends I’m bored of the same things The headlines and daydreams The constant reruns of the end (lazy guitar solo / synth warble break) [Bridge 2 — Spoken like a late-night ramble] Tell me what I need to know Tell me what I need to know Like why the stars look pixelated And why love feels simulated If this is real, then so am I — Or so I tell myself sometimes --- [Final Chorus] I want to believe In something out there Something out there Even if it’s just make-believe I want to believe In something out there Something out there That still believes in me --- [Outro] Maybe faith’s a kind of joke But it’s the only one I get So I’ll keep laughing toward the smoke And hope the punchline hasn’t hit yet
