You can't force him to love you
He can't expect you to be alright
With all the bullshit he gives you
You wake up drenched in mosquito bites
But if you fall in love with a girl
She'll make you feel like the world is on your shoulder
When you're holding her hand
The first time that you kiss, you'll smell lilacs on her lips
And when you need a little space, you know that she'll understand
That boy, let him go
Lights are on, but no one's home
Enough's enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl
You know it's okay to want more
You know it's okay to clench your fists
When your head is all tangled up
Nobody else makes you feel like this
I don't wanna be your wakeup call (wakeup call)
I don't want to be on your bedroom wall (bedroom wall)
No one ever said boys do it better, so I wrote you a letter
Saying, "Why don't you leave and come here and kiss me instead?"
I heard you fell in love with a girl
She makes you feel like the world is on your shoulder
When you're over your head
She'll love you carefully, drawing letters on the beach
And you finally found a place where you don't have to pretend
That boy, let him go
Lights are on, but no one's home
Enough's enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl
That boy, let him go
Lights are on, no one's home
Enough's enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl
