[Verse 1]
Draw the blinds, light every candle
Slip off my pretty dress down my chest when I think of you
Every night, both lips on the mirror
It's ritualistic, counting lipstick stains where you should be
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I need you around
I'm getting close now
[Chorus]
Do you picture me like I picture you? (Oh)
Am I in the frame from your point of view? (Oh)
Do you feel the same? I'm too scared to say (Oh)
Half of the things I do when I picture you
[Verse 2]
So, tell me now (Tell me now) all your perversions (Oh, oh)
Am I doing research in a mini skirt (Am I?) at the library in your hometown?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I need you around
I'm getting close now
[Chorus]
Do you picture me like I picture you? (Oh)
Am I in the frame from your point of view? (Oh)
Do you feel the same? I'm too scared to say (Oh)
Half of the things I do when I picture you
Draw the blinds, light every candle
Slip off my pretty dress down my chest when I think of you
Every night, both lips on the mirror
It's ritualistic, counting lipstick stains where you should be
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I need you around
I'm getting close now
[Chorus]
Do you picture me like I picture you? (Oh)
Am I in the frame from your point of view? (Oh)
Do you feel the same? I'm too scared to say (Oh)
Half of the things I do when I picture you
[Verse 2]
So, tell me now (Tell me now) all your perversions (Oh, oh)
Am I doing research in a mini skirt (Am I?) at the library in your hometown?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I need you around
I'm getting close now
[Chorus]
Do you picture me like I picture you? (Oh)
Am I in the frame from your point of view? (Oh)
Do you feel the same? I'm too scared to say (Oh)
Half of the things I do when I picture you

What did Chappell Roan say about "Picture You"?
Genius Answer
That song is directly related to “Casual.” They’re about the same situation and you could see how “Picture You” was about how I wanted them to see me so badly and I was obsessive over them and it turned out to be just casual for them and that’s why it was so shocking to me because I had pictured them in so many different ways, so, I think “Picture You” is a somber song as long as kind of a sexy song.
