Lyrics

[Chorus]
Go on and swing for the fences
Take a shot at the moon
A dandelion that dances
Takes chances and fancies every little light in the room
[Verse 1]
Don't hold your shoulders like a high school dance
A white flag holder in a hopeless romance
Red light kids crossing over the line
Breaking step with the times driving cars through the signs
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
A white picket fence in a parking lot
It's a long game and they're gonna tell you it's not
They're high-five dodgers
And baby, they don't deserve you
[PreChorus]
Beautiful you
They got nothing on you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Get out of the blue
They got nothing on you
[Chorus]
Go on and swing for the fences
Alright
Take a shot at the moon
A dandelion that dances
Takes chances and fancies every little light in the room
[Verse 2]
Be a heartbeat cannon in a quiet spot
A white picket fence in a parking lot
It's a long game and they're gonna tell you it's not
They're high-five dodgers
And baby, they don't deserve you
[Bridge]
Beautiful you
They got nothing on you
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Get out of the blue
They got nothing on you
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
