She runs to the wishing well

With her pocket full of dreams

One after the other

Throws them all into the deep

Throws them all into the deep

The fever is in her veins

Every moment she's awake

Secretly she listens

Waiting for the wind to change

Desperate to break away

To live what she believes

But she's afraid to try

Cause no one's ready for the girl

Desperate to find a world

Where she can hold her own

But she's afraid to try

Cause no one's ready for the girl

(No one's ready for the girl)

Held back by reputations

Just waiting for the time to pass

Brought down by expectations

But she's not gonna fight

Cause no one's ready for the girl

Her life's not a wonderland

But it's all she's ever known

Secretly she wishes

There will be another door

Desperate to break away

To live what she believes

But she's afraid to try

Cause no one's ready for the girl

It's hard to make a stand

Hanging from a string

But she's afraid to try

Cause no one's ready for the girl

(No one's ready for the girl)

Held back by reputations

Just waiting for the time to pass

Brought down by expectations

But she's not gonna fight

Cause no one's ready for the girl

She might be too much

(No one's ready for the girl)

Oh, but never enough

No one really knows, oh

No one really knows, oh oh

She's living someone else's life

Cause no one's ready for the girl

Held back by reputations

Just waiting for the time to pass

Brought down by expectations

But she's afraid to fight

Cause no one's ready for the girl
