lyrics

What genre would you put yourself in
Are you romantic or a feminist
And where did you say you were from
Was it here or there, does it really matter

In this heartless world
You can’t claim to know
If flowers will come to bloom
Or die off in the snow

I’ve heard some things but I’m just not sure
I see in your eyes, see through your disguise
Take it off one day for me
Let me inside, let me inside

In this divided world
You’ll never know for sure
If she’s in love with you
Or just some other girl
So we write about it…

Darling why’d you come here tonight
Are you here for me, did you know you’d be
Whoever thought the authors were wrong
For your happy ending you might not have to wait so long

In this crazy world
One thing to understand
Things don’t have to be
The way they’re written
Here is your best chance
For you to take the pen
Your life’s a storybook
Sure to have a happy ending
