Lily and Jenny Lyrics

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 hear

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 da, da da da da da da, da da da da

La da, da da da da da da, da da

Met up in a parking lot

Both afraid to shoot their shot

Held eachother'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 da, da da da da da, da da da

Da da, da da da da da da

They send postcards annually

Back to their family

Signed with love

Lily and Jenny
