The Prom Lyrics by Olivia Gubel

2021

In the Polaroid picture they took on Friday night
I swear I look like somebody’s mom
Just like I’m waiting to be shoved in a drawer somewhere
To be found by my daughter when she’s about fifteen
I’m in a purple dress closer to the camera
You’re to the left in your tuxedo
I’m sitting up straight and you’re leaning back
And your bowtie is slanted at an angle
And you’re captured by the midnight lighting
Looking like you’ll be young forever
And I have no doubt by the way I see you, half-smiling, half-winking
And I’m just the girl in the chеmical dream
Drunk on Diet Coke and Mulholland drеams
Looking at you like you’re my savior but you’re looking at the camera As if to say I warned you
I ran inside to the bathroom and got lost
In the chinoiserie wallpaper
It’s ironic that most pretty things are just stolen
Maybe that’s why we found ourselves broken
I stare at the stray hair and smudged lipstick
I make a draw with the girl in the mirror
Decide I’d rather stay in here with her
Then make the brunette you’re dancing with disappear
And you’re captured by the midnight lighting
Looking like you will be young forever
And I have no doubt by the way I see you half-smiling half-winking
And I’m just the girl in the chemical dream
Drunk on Diet Coke and Mulholland dreams
Looking at you like you’re my savior but you’re looking at the camera As if to say I warned you
I’m just the girl in the chemical dream
Drunk on Diet Coke and Mulholland dreams
Looking at you like you’re my savior but you’re looking at the camera
The girl in the chemical dream
Drunk on Diet Coke and Mulholland dreams
Looking at you like you’re my savior but you’re looking at the camera Looking at you like you’re my savior but you’re looking at the camera
As if to say I warned you
