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
