Girl comes home and checks her phone 
She fools herself that she's not alone 
But everybody wants to be like you 
And it all boils down and all this ends 
You turn around and you got no friends 
But everybody wants to be like you 

I would really hate to be her 
Think they love her when they see her 
When she's gone she just don't know 
What they say 
She inherited the drama 
It was passed down from her mama 
And her daddy he would only drink wine 

Only if she came around 
But she's slowly goin' down 

Girl comes home and checks her phone 
She fools herself that she's not alone 
But everybody wants to be like you 
And it all boils down and all this ends 
You turn around and you got no friends 
But everybody wants to be like you 

She looked a whole lot older 
Yet nobody ever told her 
You would never know 
That she was sixteen 
And as far as I remember 
She was standing on the corner 
Just the type that loved 
To be on the scene 

Only if she came around 
But she's slowly goin' down 

Girl comes home and checks her phone 
She fools herself that she's not alone 
But everybody wants to be like you 
And it all boils down and all this ends 
You turn around and you got no friends 
But everybody wants to be like you
Girl comes home and checks her phone 
She fools herself that she's not alone 
But everybody wants to be like you 
And it all boils down and all this ends 
You turn around and you got no friends 
But everybody wants to be like you 

Girl comes home and checks her phone 
She fools herself that she's not alone 
But everybody wants to be like you

Snow

Snow is a form of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of snowflakes that fall from clouds. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Types which fall in the form of a ball due to melting and refreezing, rather than a flake, are known as hail, ice pellets or snow grains. Snowfall amount and its related liquid equivalent precipitation amount are determined using a variety of different rain gauges. more »
