She runs to the wishing well with her pocket full of dreams One after the other Throws them all into the deep, throws them all into the deep The fever is in her veins, every moment she's awake Secretly she listens Waiting for the wind to change Desparate to break away, to live what she believes But she's afraid to try, 'cause no one's ready for the girl Desparate to find a world, where she can hold her own But she's afraid to try, 'cause no one's ready for the girl No one's ready for the girl Held back by reputations Just waiting for the time to pass Brought down by expectations But she's not gonna fight, 'cause no one's ready for the girl Her life's not a wonderland, but it's all she's ever known Secretly she wishes There will be another door Desparate to break away, to live what she believes But she's afraid to try, ' cause no one's ready for the girl It's hard to make a stand hanging from a string But she's afraid to try, 'cause no one's ready for the girl No one's ready for the girl Held back by reputations Just waiting for the time to pass Brought down by expectations But she's not gonna fight 'Cause no one's ready for the girl She might be too much (No one's ready for the girl) Oh, but never enough No one really knows, oh No one really knows, oh She's living someone else's life 'Cause no one's ready for the girl Held back by reputations Just waiting for the time to pass Brought down by expectations 'Cause no one's ready for the girl Held back by reputations Just waiting for the time to pass Brought down by expectations But she's afraid to fight 'Cause no one's ready for the girl
