Zac Jones - Dobler vs. Dahmer Lyrics

Do you think God high fives His buddies
I think He does, but I don't think he did before creating you
I think He surprised himself
When He pieced you together
With beauty, chaos confidence, complexity and so much more
I think He made you, high fived Gabriel, and said, "Man, I am good"

When we got coffee, I arrived at the shop twenty minutes early
Then sat there alone waiting for you
I could feel my stress growing and the 800mg of caffeine definitely
Did not help that anxiety
We drove to your favorite spot
And you told me about the countless runs and sunset viewings
That had taken place there
I imagined joining you on those runs one day
Our feet stepping in sync with one another and then me
Tripping trying to keep up with you
Because you are for sure faster than me
I thought about the sunsets that would take place there
And about being present for them by your side
Only to miss the colors in the sky welcoming the stars at the start of night
Because I'd be too distracted admiring the ones in your eyes

We went to get pizza and sat in the restaurant for hours
I couldn't sit still because of my nerves
You made me forget how to count to seven
And you made me forget how to tell my left from my right
I wanted to impress you, but I kept stumbling over my words
Like I had forgotten how to speak
You make me feel like I have a speech impediment
When I have never actually had a speech impediment
We laughed together when I stuttered
And then shared stories with one another
We joked about TV shows, the Dobler vs Dahmer theory
And imagining futures with total strangers
But I only want one with you

The restaurant started playing Rock n Roll bingo
It was weird and we both laughed and left before we got dragged into playing
We walked down the street then sat in your car for another couple hours
You continued to tell stories that took a million years to finish
Because of the tangents we would go on and rabbit holes we would explore
You go around the world to cross the street
But the journey is absolutely breathtaking
I'm the same way, and we loved that quality in one another
Even though most people wouldn't
It made things interesting

After that night, I couldn't get you out of my head
It was like you had purchased property inside of my mind
And taken up residence in the limbic system of my temporal lobe
And started teasing me with a bottle of dopamine and oxytocin
While I'm stuck on the other side of the fence trying my hardest to pick the lock

You are amazing in every way I can possibly think
As strange as it may sound
I wish that God would turn you back into one of my ribs
And shove you back inside of my chest
So that I would never have to spend another moment without you
So that you could constantly feel my heartbeat
And know exactly how much you mean to me

I started wondering what it would be like to have you
What it would be like to wake up in the morning
And shoot you a text that just says
"Good morning, beautiful," and probably has an emoji or two
What it would be like to show up outside your house
And surprise you with coffee or flowers
What it would be like to introduce you to my friends
And make all of them confused at how I landed a girl like you
And make them jealous because they can't

You're the kind of girl people write songs about
I know this because every Spotify playlist and every Apple Music add
And every song I heard on the radio and every jingle I heard on TV
Reminded me of you
Everything started to remind me of you
Things that didn't even make sense for them to remind me of you
Reminded me of you
Like when I was in the store and saw a loaf of bread and thought
"Hm, I wonder if she likes bread"

It's interesting to me how a person can take over your thoughts like that
How after a couple conversations or a couple times hanging out
Everything relates to them
And the crazy thing is they might not have any idea
That they have populated your brain like that
And it might kind of creep them out if they did know
Dahmer
But what if it didn't
What if you weren't weirded out by the fact
That you had unknowingly explored every square inch of my psyche
What if I had unknowingly done the same in yours
The simple possibility of this keeps me motivated
To do everything I can to make you fall for me
Dobler
I am dreaming of the day I win you over
And we crack open a bottle of that dopamine
And oxytocin concoction in celebration
I've got one on ice for just that occasion
Let me know when you want a drink
