Little Star

You, summers in your bedroom Made yourself a kingdom Imagining how you'd rule And everyone you knew Said she must be a genius Look at how the brush it moves Keep listening, keep watching Keep working, not stopping Little genius, little star You're everything they say you are Is it lovely in the dark? Or do you dim as you go on? You, autumns in the schoolyard Alpha of the ex Some girls that wanna be like you And everything you do She must be a leader Look at how the crowd it moves Keep listening, keep watching Keep working, not stopping Little genius, little star You're everything they say you are Is it lovely in the dark? Or do you dim as you go on? Go on, go on The days they go Go on, go on The credits show Go on, go on The crowds they know (go on, go on) That no one waits for so and so Little genius, little star You're everything they say you are Is it lovely in the dark? Or do you dim as you go on? You, winters in the basement Trying not to face it Wonder where your kingdom went And when they look at you Come on little genius Do it like you used to to Keep working, keep watching They'll listen, no stopping
