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
