She can't stop pacing She never felt so alive Her thoughts are racing Set on overdrive
It takes a village This she knows is true They're expecting her And she's got work to do
He helplessly stands by It's meaningless to try As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes He says I've never seen her get this bad
Even though she seems so high He knows that she can't fly And when she falls out of the sky He'll be standing by
She was raised in a small midwestern town By a charming and eccentric loving father She was praised as the perfect teenage girl And everyone thought highly of her
And she tried everyday With endless drive To make the grade Then one day She woke up to find The perfect girl Had lost her mind
Once barely taking a break Now she sleeps the days away She helplessly stands by It's meaningless to try All she wants to do is cry No one ever knew she was so sad
Cause even though she gets so high And thinks that she can fly She will fall out of the sky But in the face of misery She found hopefulness Feeling better She had weathered This depression
Much to her advantage She resumed her frantic pace Boundless power Midnight hour She enjoyed the race
