[LINDSAY]
These smiley-face pajamas and this rainbow kitten mug have got to go
What if I throw them both away?
They're comfy but they chain me to that anvil of a couch
In a defensive crouch
Afraid to go and play
I know the rules

[JOAN]
Be sunny, honey, close those knees

[TOM]
Clorox offensive thoughts and you'll prevent disease

[LINDSAY]
It's like a show where every song's the same reprise
Oh, but breaking out is dangerous
I know the party game
Be small and tame

[CELESTE]
Or we will maim you in your sleep

[LINDSAY]
So buy thе fuzzy pencils, wear the t-shirts with thе hearts
Let any darts or weapons sink into the deep
And find a boy, a six or seven out of ten
Who cracks a joke you laugh at every now and then
You know you'll fall in love although you wonder when
Oh, what if I try to change this ever-looping tune?
What if I let them see the dark side of my moon?
My brain is like a video store
With a big restricted-section door
With lots of cool stuff hiding in the ultraviolet light
What if I let somebody see me tonight?

I could be that girl from anthro class who felt no shame or guilt
And wore the kilt with the fishnets and the Vans
I remember what she said that time, she passed me in the quad
"Your Diet Coke is oppression in a can."
She thought she sized me up in a single glance
She never noticed me in Afro-Cuban dance
She'd never think I'd go and buy some plastic pants

So what if I cut the tags and took these for a spin?
What if they're worth contracting yeast infections in?
They try to put me in a box
But baby, I'm a paradox

Oh, what if I let some other parts out of the vault?
What if I hurt someone and don't think it's my fault?
Time to let the bridges burn
So many lessons to unlearn
What if I let somebody see me?
If they saw what it is to be me
Would they be terrified of this sight?
What if we see about "what if" tonight?
