She's dreaming of running away to Paris again
And she's fighting all of her impulses, the lessons time has learned
And she's ignoring the sudden burst of sunlight
The rays exploding through the clouds
The warmth belying frigid winter
What have you done?
You're breaking through all her carefully constructed barricades
You're launching all the fireworks that Michigan has banned
And you're shouting from every single rooftop
While wagging imaginary tails
Grinning and laughing like a madman
It's just a little much.
She is scared to believe
She'd given up on happy endings of her own
But she is starting to believe
Starting to believe in you
What if this car slips on ice
And doughnuts in the snow
What if this highway stretches long
The Midwest prove too cold
She is scared to believe
She'd given up on happy endings of her own
But she is starting to believe
Starting to believe in you
