Days like these don't come around often,
Days like these, when girls like me,
Can float around town in swishy summer dresses
And pretend to be someone less real,

Today I'm the girl everyone wants to be
With golden brown shoulders
And lazy hair,
Catching my reflection in a shop window

And thinking that yes,
I look pretty today
