Here are the lyrics! :)
I’m usually an open book
Not trading looks on the sly
Makes me feel like I’m lying but those butterflies
I question who I was before, cause he unlocks a door
I never knew I wanted to walk through
I’ve never been like Pete
Yearning to pound a city street
And happy on this coastline
No need to design some other life
But is there room for more joy?
For a boy who makes me dream of diamond rings
While promising me the simple things
Can I choose him and stay who I’ve been?
Keep on the same road dusk til dawn but just live
a little, a little, a little outside the lines I’ve drawn
I’ve always been so good
Doing everything I should to carry us since mom died
Yeah, I’ve really tried to make a home
Cause Dad and Pete, they need me
I’m the key to us all keeping sunny moods
To improving their harsh attitudes
Can I pull back just a tiny bit?
And not feel like I’m moving on if i live
a little, a little, a little outside the lines I’ve drawn
Oh, the risk wouldn’t be his kiss
The risk is only in dad’s eyes
But dad has to realize I couldn’t leave
Our jagged shores, local stores, sweet corn, and dandelions
The fresh bread I’ve made, it’s not a price I’ve paid, it’s part of me!
Which makes me see
I can hold down the fort
Without both my feet on the court
Can enter a new stage
Embrace this blank page in my own book
Cause there is room for more joy!
For a boy, cause i don’t see a setting sun
No limits, no, that’s it your done
I can choose him and stay who I’ve been
Cause I want it said when I’m gone, that I lived
a little, a little, a little
a little, a little, a little
a little, a little a little outside the lines I’ve drawn
