Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He put it on me, I put it on
Like there was nothin' wrong
It didn't fit, it wasn't right
Wasn't just the size
They say you know when you know
I don't know
[Verse 2]
I didn't feel the fairytale feelin', no
Am I a stupid girl
For even dreaming that I could?
[Verse 3]
If it's not like the movies
That's how it should be, yeah
When he's the one, I'll come undone
And my world will stop spinning
And that's just the beginning, yeah
[Verse 4]
Snow White said when I was young
"One day my prince will come"
So I wait for that date
They say it's hard to meet your match
Gotta find my better half
So we make perfect shapes
[Verse 5]
If star's don't align
If it doesn't stop time
If you can't see the sign
Wait for it
One hundred percent
With every penny you spend
He'll be the one that finishes your sentences
[Verse 6]
If it's not like the movies
That's how it should be, yeah
When he's the one, I'll come undone
And my world will stop spinning
And that's just the beginning
Oh, yeah
[Verse 7]
'Cause I know you're out there
And you're, you're looking for me
Oh
It's a crazy idea that
You were made perfectly for me, you'll see
[Verse 8]
Just like the movies
That's how it will be
Cinematic and dramatic
With the perfect ending
Oh
It's not like the movies
Oh
But that's how it should be, yeah
When he's the one, you'll come undone
And your world will stop spinning
And it's just the beginnin'
