Cinderella by The Small Calamities Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take those flowers from your hair, this is Oakland
And I was broke beyond repair‚ but you were open
And if there's gonna be a flame‚ then you just set the world on fire...
Take those flowers from your hair‚ this is everything we knew
[Chorus 1]
Cinderella, please forgive me! I'm wide awake, you're barely dreaming‚ and I can't sleep til I get your colors all out of my head
Cinderella, please believe me: I'm trying to change, so won't you let me? I'm not ready to get your colors all out of my head
[Verse 2]
They say November's gonna come‚ well, I am ready for a fight
Take no credit for your sins, just keep it empty
There's a little piece of you on the dashboard of my car…
Sometimes I think about walking into traffic, screaming out your name, and waiting for the dam to break
[Chorus 2]
Cinderella, please forgive me! I'm running scared across your garden and I can't stop til I get your colors all out of my head
Cinderella, run and chase me… it's getting late, I know you're weary but I'm not ready to get your colors all out of my head
[Bridge]
And the radio was telling me it's gonna change, or maybe I should try to get some sleep
I saw that you were listening to Death Cab on the internet, I guess it's nice to know you're also sad
[Coda]
Cinderella, don't forsake me—I know it's dumb, but we're still breathing… I know I've tried to get your colors all out of my head
Cinderella, please forget me—I'm giving up, I'm tired of asking, and maybe this way I'll get your colors all out of my head
Take those flowers from your hair, this is Oakland
And I was broke beyond repair‚ but you were open
And if there's gonna be a flame‚ then you just set the world on fire...
Take those flowers from your hair‚ this is everything we knew
[Chorus 1]
Cinderella, please forgive me! I'm wide awake, you're barely dreaming‚ and I can't sleep til I get your colors all out of my head
Cinderella, please believe me: I'm trying to change, so won't you let me? I'm not ready to get your colors all out of my head
[Verse 2]
They say November's gonna come‚ well, I am ready for a fight
Take no credit for your sins, just keep it empty
There's a little piece of you on the dashboard of my car…
Sometimes I think about walking into traffic, screaming out your name, and waiting for the dam to break
[Chorus 2]
Cinderella, please forgive me! I'm running scared across your garden and I can't stop til I get your colors all out of my head
Cinderella, run and chase me… it's getting late, I know you're weary but I'm not ready to get your colors all out of my head
[Bridge]
And the radio was telling me it's gonna change, or maybe I should try to get some sleep
