the girl who played max Lyrics

She cut out paper butterflies with uneven wings

She made her silence poems 'cos she couldn't keep it in

She invented the craziest things in a diary she called home

She was the bravest girl I've ever known

Maybe I'll be her again, in a world where fantasy wins

The world didn't seem to end, at six years old, back then

Maybe I'll follow both head and heart

To find where the wild things are

What I would do to go back to the start

Sacred secrets I held like water in my hands

Ninety-nine stupid dreams and barely a future plan

I'm holding an empty script now, I've gotta improvise

But she was the bravest girl you'd ever find

Maybe I'll be her again, in a world where fantasy wins

The world didn't seem to end, at six years old, back then

Maybe I'll follow both head and heart

To find where the wild things are

What I would do to go back to the start

Invite the monsters in for a party

Let the balloons out, just let them go free

I guess there's everything to be scared about

But isn't that the point, somehow

Maybe I'll be her again, in a world where fantasy wins

The world didn't seem to end, at six years old, back then

Maybe I'll follow both head and heart

To find where the wild things are

What I would do to go back to the start
