They say
My dreams
Are fairy tales
Never going to happen
They say
I need to bring my head out of the clouds
And put my feet on the ground
Maybe
Having my head in the clouds
And my nose in a book
Is the only way
I can leave this town
I want out
But that's just a fairy tale dream
Is it so wrong
For a girl to dream
Of fairy tales
They're so tantalizing
They can feel so real
I'd greatly like out
But that's just a fairy tale dream
Is it so wrong of me
To dream of days
Where I'm no longer bound
By these town borders
And county lines?
