It's getting too heavy on her head

Like the docs heavy on her step

Screaming, "How am I gonna get out of this?"

She's caught in the in-between

Of who she is and who she wants to be

Screaming, "How am I gonna get out of this?"

Oh, she know she got a purpose

It ain't customer service

More under the surface

Someone take some notice

Her future makes her nervous

Oh, Ellen

If you can make it past twenty-seven

Yeah, this moment won't last forever, last forever

Oh, Ellen

It might seem like hell, this heaven

Yeah, this moment won't last forever, last forever

Ever, ever, ever, ever

This moment won't last forever

She's quiet, but her mind so loud

This noise, can you cut it out?

Screaming, "How am I gonna get out of this?"

Is it seasonal sadness?

The insomnia or madness

Party's in the packet

How long can she hack it?

It's become a habit

Oh, Ellen

If you can make it past twenty-seven

Yeah, this moment won't last forever, last forever

Oh, Ellen

It might seem like hell, this heaven

Yeah, this moment won't last forever, last forever

She lives too fast hiding from her past

And the tears roll out like a running tap

Oh, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen (This moment won't last forever)

Molly and Charlie will understand

And they'll pick her up like a stimulant

Oh, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, Ellen (This moment won't last forever)

Oh, Ellen

If you can make it past twenty-seven

Yeah, this moment won't last forever, last forever

Oh, Ellen

It might seem like hell, this heaven

Yeah, this moment won't last forever, last forever
