Keep on haunting A-a-aaa, b-b-b-b Keep on haunting B-b-b-b, b-b-b, b-b-b-b
Always aiming paper airplanes at me when you're around You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down
You put a fever inside me And I've been cold since you left
Alphabet boy.
Jump starting your car 'cause this city's a bore Buying e-cigarettes at the convenience store Making new clichés on our own little tour Let's ride.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days, When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
We've been making shades of purple out of red and blue Sickeningly sweet like honey, don't need money All I need is you
A-a-aaa, b-b-b-b Keep on haunting We're stressed out Keep on haunting me B-b-b-b, b-b-b, b-b-b-b
Apples aren't always appropriate apologies Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me
But then your eyes start to wander 'Cause they weren't looking at me You weren't looking for me
Alphabet boy.
We take jokes way too far 'Cause sometimes living's too hard like two halves of one heart We are, we are, we are
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days, When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
We've been making shades of purple out of red and blue.
Cause I came here so you'd come for me
I'm begging you to keep on (haunting) Alphabet boy. I'm begging you to keep on (haunting me) Ohhhhhh I'm begging you to keep on (haunting)
We used to play pretend, give each other different names, We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away, Used to dream of outer space but now they're laughing at our face, Saying, \"Wake up, you need to make money.\" Ew.
Wish we could turn back time, to the good ol' days, When our momma sang us to sleep but now we're stressed out.
We've been making shades of purple out of red and blue Sickeningly sweet like honey, don't need money. All I need a-a-aaa is you b-b-b-b
