The edge of the bonfire we caught each other’s eye
Before I knew you grabbed my hand and I didn’t care why
You said, “the most important things are God, and what I’m going to show you”
I was younger then, I missed the warning sign
You pulled out your cell phone as I tried to kiss you
You said, “not right now, first watch this video”
A worldventures ad, this must be a bad dream
A worldventures ad, a pyramid scheme
What, what do I look like to you?
A guy who gets nervous to fight parking citations
And hangs by the chips and guac table at parties
Shoveling food to avoid conversations
I wish I could say that I walked right away
But I watched the whole video, it felt like it went on for days
Truth be told, I was still holding out for that kiss
I was 28, there’s no good excuse for this
You asked if I was serious, I tried to clarify
“Serious? You mean about us?”
“No, serious...you know what I mean
Serious about my pyramid scheme"
What, what do I look like to you?
A wannabe stoner who can't properly inhale
A dreamer whose highest aspiration
Is guest starring on Teen Wolf or on Riverdale
You stormed away
You stormed away
You stormed away
You left me alone in the woods
You stormed away and I felt a pang of guilt within
Cause I’m the kind of guy who’d probably confess to a murder I wasn’t involved in
I chased after you with one thing to say
This is the chance of a lifetime, I won’t let it slip away
Let’s build a pyramid, girl
Let’s build a pyramid, girl
Let's build a pyramid
