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
