daydream in your art class

watching your paints dry, you don’t know why

your hopes and dreams pass by

still you try, you won’t cry


you told us your lovely story

you won’t find it in books, so you won’t look

relive your former glory

the photos that they took, it's more than looks


darling, you wore your schoolgirl clothes, do you remember those?

I’m starting to see things crystal clear and hold these memories dear


from down here, you are an angel

a work of art, a teenage heart

the world’s so painful

we fall apart, and it will hurt


feel like you’re growing older

away the hours go, but you don’t know

the weight upon your shoulders

you will outgrow and let it go


darling, the beauty lies inside, sweetness you can’t hide

you’re shining, you’re not so different now, I hope you know somehow

darling, you wore your schoolgirl clothes, do you remember those?

I’m starting to see things crystal clear and hold these memories dear
