lyrics

(Intro)
She's the first to arrive and always the last to leave
A beauty queen of a previous life, she's
Falling apart for the good of her friends
Her makeup may be running but her smile stays true to the end

(Verse 1)
She wakes up in the backyard
World spinning around
A little too hard
She remembers champagne and smiles
Her friends for a while
Until it all fades away

Who would've thought that she'd do it all again
Eager to impress but really just wanting to pretend away
The night and the day
She's happy if you are

(Chorus)
She's the first to arrive and always the last to leave
A beauty queen of a previous life, she's
Falling apart for the good of her friends
Her makeup may be running but her smile stays true to the end

A little crazy in her own special way
The sun comes up but she's trapped in yesterday
You used to wonder what she thought about you
Now she's falling in love, cause she's got nothing better to do

(Verse 2)
(Dale) There's nothing wrong with her
(Nic) But now it's starting to blur
(Dale) The line between her nights, and her nights out
(Nic) Cause she's too young to have a problem
(Dale) But too old to be told what to do

One day some day one of us
Will try to talk to her about it
Talk her out of going out and trying to plan her life around it
Cause her whole life has become
One big bad habit

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
She takes her fun so seriously
Make the most of another disappointing week
It's getting late but she's at it again
Cause her heart won't miss a beat

(Chorus)
