Just Breathe

Just Breathe - Jo Ellen Pellman/Matthew Sklar

Note to self

Don't be gay in Indiana

Big heads up

That's a really stupid plan

There are places where

It's in to be out

Maybe San Francisco or thereabout

But in Indiana without a doubt

If you're not straight

Then guess what's

Bound to hit the fan

Just breathe Emma

Not everyone is that repressed

Just breathe Emma

It wouldn't be high

School without a test

Just close your eyes

And count to ten

Go to your happy place and then

Try not to combust

Just breathe

Hey Emma who's this girl

You're gonna bring to prom anyway

I didn't know we had more

Than one lesbo in town

You don't know her

She's new here

Like an exchange student

Maybe

Well then why don't you like

Exchange her for a guy

Dude nice

Note to self

People suck in Indiana

Leave today

Pray the Greyhound isn't full

Who knew asking out

A girl to the prom

Would go over just like an atom bomb

And make things much worse

With your dad and mom

And who'd have ever thought

That could be possible

Just breathe Emma

Picture a beach with golden sand

Just breathe Emma

Picture a Xanax in your hand

Try journaling

Or start a blog

Just end this inner monologue

See the if you must

But just breathe

Ok

I just got off the phone

With the state's attorney

She thinks

This is a civil rights issue

This is a big deal Emma

So what are you saying

I'm just saying I'm really excited

To be a part of something like this

We'll see how the PTA meeting goes

Okay well it's not gonna be fun

We'll get through it

Take a sec relax

Just breathe Emma

Remember that thing called oxygen

Just breathe Emma

Look at the crazy state you're in

Just smile and nod

Although they're jerks

Say namaste and pray it works

And like we've discussed

Just breathe
