Lily and Jenny

Jenny was a prom queen chewing on ice cubes Crying at night because she didn't like herself But she played her part so well Lily worked a job at minimum wage Customers spit and laughed in her face She hoped one day She'd find her place Jenny had a crush she was in denial Got butterflies when Lily smiled Making herself suicidal She wanted to say "Will you run away with me? Let's get the hell out Tennessee I promise you'll be safe with me I swear Let's drive to the coast 'Cause the system is broken I love who I love, it's not fair" Jenny was scared her brother would hate her Wrote him a note on parchment paper Hope he didn't mind That she'd be Gone for a little while Lily was scared to leave her family Dinner table set with one spot empty But she wanted so bad to be free Words were playing in her head Everything that Jenny said She couldn't get it off her mind The things that Jenny said last night "Will you run away with me? Let's get the hell out Tennessee I promise you'll be safe with me I swear Let's drive to the coast 'Cause the system is broken I love who I love, it's not fair" La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la Met up in a parking lot Both afraid to shoot their shot Held each other's hand And they hopped right into Jenny's van Will you run away with me? Let's get the hell out Tennessee I promise you'll be safe with me I swear Let's drive to the coast 'Cause the system is broken I love who I love, it's not fair La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la La-la They send postcards annually Back to their family Signed with love Lily and Jenny
