Soundtracks - Just Breathe by Jo Ellen Pellman lyrics

[EMMA] 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 [BOY, spoken] 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 [EMMA, spoken] You don't know her. She's new here [BOY 2, spoken] Like, an exchange student? [EMMA, spoken] Maybe [BOY, spoken] Well then why don't you, like, exchange her for a guy? [BOY 2, spoken] Dude, nice! [EMMA] Note to self: People su*k 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 Seethe if you must But just breathe [MR. HAWKINS, spoken] Okay, 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 [EMMA, spoken] So, what are you saying? [MR. HAWKINS, spoken] I'm just saying I'm really excited to be a part of something like this [EMMA, spoken] We'll see how the PTA meeting goes [MR. HAWKINS, spoken] Okay, well, it's not gonna be fun. We'll get through it. Just take a sec. Relax [EMMA] 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
