Sneaking out on your own under the radar. You keep checking your phone and looking in the mirror. And you smile from ear to ear. Just like a cheshire cat before he disappears. Can’t shrink you down and hold you in my hand. Can’t solve your riddles. Warnings I didn’t understand. I’ll be around and maybe that’s the plan. I’ll be right here now go have fun in Wonderland. Your key’s in the door. Headlights on a stranger’s car. You can blow it off like before. You’re the queen of hearts. And your tail is so tall it’s blowing the roof off and breaking the walls. Can’t shrink you down and hold you in my hand. Can’t solve your riddles. Warnings I didn’t understand. I’ll be around and maybe that’s the plan. I’ll be right here now go have fun in Wonderland.
