"Roman Holiday" lyrics

"Roman Holiday"

If I can hide out here for the summer
If I can hold out here for that long
Will it be time for the people
To forget my face and let me take
A Roman holiday

I'm small but I'm strong
Strong but quiet
If something comes along
Well, I just might try it

So what is was the wrong girl
But the time was right
And it's all too easy
To talk about
What's night in hindsight

No coat and
We had no chaperone
We were left alone

If I can hide out here for the summer
If I can hold out here for that long
Will it be time for the people
To forget my face and let me take
A Roman holiday

I like girls and girls like me
You know some men pay thousands of dollars
For what I get for free

Now you stand there
And you paint the bone
You know you wouldn't pay attention
If I was some complete unknown

No choice
I had no alibi
Just had the chance to fly

If I can hide out here for the summer
If I can hold out here for that long
Will it be time for the people
To forget my face and let me take
A Roman holiday

First chance I ran away
And I'm never ever gonna go back
The American dream looks faded
When you're staring from the bottom of a
Cul-de-sac

If I can hide out here for the summer
If I can hold out here for that long
Will it be time for the people
To forget my face and let me take
A Roman holiday
