[Verse 1]
I've been to the sea
I lived in the snow
Been into the wild
I was on death row

I worked for the post
And went nowhere fast
I've been to the future to the present and the past
And I'm waiting

[Chorus]
Come on pick me up
And take me away again
My trusty friend
I live word for word
You give me the creeps again
The best books will never really end

(Ooh, Ooh)

[Verse 2]
I fought for her life
But got killed instead
And I built a house
For myself inside of my head
I was sleeping in
Never meant to rise
And in the morning it was morning
Yet I was still alive

[Chorus]
Come on pick me up
And take me away again
My trusty friend
I live word for word
You give me the creeps again
The best books will never really end

[Bridge]
One more chapter I'll be fine
One more letter one more line
Leave the chains and set me free
This protagonist is me

One more story for my mind
One more page to leave behind
This world's lame reality
Nothing rules like fantasy to me

[Chorus]
Come on pick me up and take me away again
My trusty friend
I live word for word
You give me the creeps again
The best books will never really end
[Outro]
Come pick me up and take me away again
Come on, pick me up
I live word for word
You give me the creeps again
The best books will never really end
