Prairies

Alright, final take

Uh-oh, what have you done?
Lock me up, I’ve fallen in love
Get me out of here, I said, get me out of here
And I have homework and – I need to do
Late assignments and papers overdue
I’m all out of tears, blurry nights won’t disappear

I was in my bed, I tried to sleep
I held my breath, I was too weak
I fell into your open arms
You’ll break my heart, take it too far
But I don’t care, this isn’t fair
I love the way you do your hair
I love the way you write your name
I love the way

You’re driving me crazy, you’re driving me mad
I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we’ll have
My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad
Haven’t been eating lately, and I haven’t been in class

Uh-oh, how original
Girl meets boy, it’s so predictable
Get me out of here, get me out of here
You’ve got – you say you gotta do
Left me there just to think it through
Facing all my fears, I’ve waited years and years

I get a feeling every time I go to bed
Are you thinking about me or is it all just in my head?
‘Cause I’m fallin’ at the speed of light
Can’t keep up with the butterflies
Floating ‘round, no sign of slowing down

I was in my bed, I tried to sleep
I held my breath, I was too weak
I fell into your open arms
You’ll break my heart, take it too far
But I don’t care, this isn’t fair
I love the way you do your hair
I love the way you write your name
I love the way

You’re driving me crazy, you’re driving me mad
I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we’ll have
My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad
Haven’t been eating lately, and I haven’t been in class

I was in my bed, I tried to sleep
I held my breath, I was too weak
I fell into your open arms
You’ll break my heart, take it too far
But I don’t care, this isn’t fair
I love the way you do your hair
I love the way you write your name
I love the way

You’re driving me crazy, you’re driving me mad
I keep dreaming of prairies and memories that we’ll have
My mom calls me lazy, my friends call me sad
Haven’t been eating lately, and I haven’t been in class
