fall in love with a girl - Cavetown, beabadoobee

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

I never wanted to see him

I just wanted to be someone

That you see on your ceiling

He never saw me in anyone

I wanna say how I’m feeling

We haven’t talked in like eighteen months

I told my boyfriend I’m leaving

I thought that maybe we could hook up

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 but no one’s home

Enough’s enough, find your pearl

And fall in love with a girl
