Note to self: Don´t be gay in Indiana Big heads up: That´s a really stupid plan There are places where it´s in to be out Maybe San Francisco or thereabout
But in Indiana without a doubt If you´re not straight, then guess what´s bound to hit the fan?
Just breathe, Emma Not everyone is that repressed Just breathe, Emma It wouldn´t be high school without a test
Just close your eyes And count to ten Go to your happy place and then Try not to combust Just breathe
(Spoken) Hey Emma
Who´s this girl you´re gonna bring to the prom, anyway? I didn´t know we had more than one lesbo in town
You don´t know her. She´s new here
Like, an exchange student?
Maybe
Well then why don´t you like, exchange her for a guy?
Dude, nice!
(Song) Note to self: People suck in Indiana Leave today, pray the Greyhound isn´t full Who knew asking out a girl to the prom Would go over just like an atom bomb And make things much worse with your dad and mom? And who´d have ever thought that could be possible?
Just breathe, Emma Picture a beach with golden sand Just breathe, Emma Picture a Xanax in your hand
Try journaling or start a blog
Just end this inner monologue Seethe if you must But just breathe
(Spoken) Okay, I just got off the phone with the state´s attorney. She thinks this is a civil rights issue. This is a big deal, Emma
So, what are you saying?
I´m just saying I´m really excited to be a part of this
We´ll see how the PTA meeting goes
It´s not gonna be fun. We´ll get through it. Just hold it a sec. Relax
(Song) Just breathe, Emma Remember that thing called oxygen Just breathe, Emma Look at the crazy state you´re in
Just smile and nod, although they´re jerks Say namaste and pray it works And like we´ve discussed Just breathe
