The Prom - Just Breathe Lyrics

Performed by Jo Ellen Pellman.

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 suck 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
