Lyrics
I can change your life in a single night
I have the ability to significantly impact your life in just one night.
I can make you hungry, get an appetite
I can make you eager or excited, arousing your appetite.
I could tell a story that would make you cry
I can narrate a story that has the potential to make you cry emotionally.
But nobody ever seems to bat an eye
Despite telling such emotional stories, people seem indifferent and unresponsive.
'Cause this town's too small for a girl like me
The town is too small and judgmental for someone like the singer, creating a sense of personal tragedy.
For a girl like me, for a girl like me
-It feels like I'm a walking tragedy
-Walking tragedy, walking tragedy
-But do you ever wonder about the kid wonder?
The singer questions if others ever think about or recognize her as the "kid wonder," expressing a desire for acknowledgment.
If only you knew it was me
-I'm the kid wonder
-And do you ever wonder about the kid wonder?
-If only you knew it was me
-I'm the kid wonder
-I give you a ticket to the midnight show

We can hit the road and we can go, go, go

Turn our faces in and you can kiss me slow
Suggesting intimacy by mentioning kissing slowly after turning faces in, possibly indicating a deeper connection.
And I can turn around and say I told you so

'Cause this town's too small for a girl like me
Reiteration of the challenges faced by the singer in the small town, reinforcing the theme of personal tragedy.
For a girl like me, for a girl like me

-Walking tragedy, walking tragedy
-But do you ever wonder about the kid wonder?

If only you knew it was me

-I'm the kid wonder
