i was up late last night
because i needed to write
all these emotions
and my devotions

i was up late last night
trying to figure out why
it was hard for me to say
what i needed to say

it's like you're a bird flying back and forth
telling me things you never even said
it's like this strange script written in my head
from all of the things i wish you said
better than a movie
better than a dream
better than any book i've ever read
you were running in my mind
that's why i was up late last night

i was up late last night
because i couldn't get it right
the words and the things
i needed to make you mine

i was up late last night
trying to figure out why
you could do all this
without even a kiss

it's like you're a song playing on and on
a little overrated but it never gets old
it's one of those a hopeless romantic sings along to
in the car driving home all alone
better than a movie
better than a dream
better than any book i've ever read
you were running in my mind
that's why i was up late last night

only if you felt the same
and you came up to me to say,
that you wanted me to be yours

i wouldn't be awake this late
losing sleep believing in fate
that someday you'll be mine

we can be better than any movie
better than your dream
better than any book you'll ever read
only if you were mine

it's like you're everything i've been looking for
crazy how it took me this long
but it's like you're everything every girl wants
that's why it's so hard to get you
better than a movie
better than a dream
better than any book i ever read
you were running in my mind
that's why i was up late last night
written in song form
