Lyrics
Living In A Magazine
©2015
I saw your picture in the magazine.
You're just what I want, oh yeah,
You're just what I need.
Your smile is jumping off the cover at me.
I pick it up and turn it to page 33.
As if I can't already get you out of my mind,
You're here at the grocery in the check out line.
I want our happy ever after, but you're living in a magazine.
I put you back inside that
cold metal rack.
I keep looking at you, I see you staring right back.
I believe I'm having an
anxiety attack.
Cause my heart starts racing when
I see your Kodak.
As if I can't already get you out of my mind,
You're here at the grocery in the check out line.
I want our happy ever after, but you're living in a magazine.
Will I ever meet you baby?
Or will you always only live in my dreams?
I can't get close enough to you,
'Cause you 're living in the
Pages of a magazine!
Pages of a magazine!
(Music interlude)
As if I can't already get you out of my mind,
You're here at the grocery in the check out line.
I want our happy ever after, but you're living in a magazine!
Living in a magazine!
Living in a magazine!
