lyrics

I've met a girl and she's just like you
She cries in the night and writes poems like you do too
The magic from her mind, it translates to the page
And maybe one day I will read the words that she says

I've met a girl and she's just like you
She falls in the cracks and her back snaps and gets caught
She's got a mind that'll do something big
While she's up above the land
Yeah, I'll hold her hand

You say "there's no such thing as normal anyway"
And now I know why

So what's your ailment?
'Cause here is mine
Spent all this time thinking everybody else was okay
And you were fine

I've met a girl and she's just like you
She hurts all over and she hides it how you do too
And she's a best friend like you'll always be
She always holds doors and she's kind to everybody she sees

I've met a girl and she's just like you
She grips with her nails and her structure shakes when she cries
I know all her secrets 'cause I've seen them before
'Cause she's just like you
Yeah, and she's just like you

And you say "there's no such thing as normal anyway"
And now I know why
And now I know why

So what's your ailment?
'Cause here is mine
Spent all this time thinking everybody else was okay
And you were fine

So why read Plato?
Yeah, maybe it's to make sense of the world
To remind her that there's knowledge beyond her own
Since she thinks she has none
And I think she is wrong
She wouldn't agree anyway
'Cause she's just like you
Yeah, she's just like you
