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 smell lilacs on her lips
And when you need a little space
You know she'll understand

That boy, let him go
Lights are on, but no one's home
And I've seen enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl

I've never wantеd to see him
I just wanted to be someonе
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
And 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
And I've seen enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl
That boy, let him go
Lights are on, but no one's home
And I've seen enough, find your pearl
And fall in love with a girl
