[Verse 1] Leather jacket, cigarette glow She walked like she owned the show No permission in her eyes And only wearing black tonight I watched her from my bedroom wall Wondered how she'd stand so tall If I could steal a little fame Maybe I'd could become the same [Chorus] Be my pin-up Teach me how to start as fire How to turn this wandering girl Into a powerful desire [Verse 2] I copied every move she made Borrowed every shade she'd wear Tried to laugh the way she laughed Till I forgot what brought me there Years went by without a sound The girl I knew was hard to find Then one day I caught myself... As if she was looking back this time [Chorus] Be my pin-up Hands still open wide Every dream I held onto Kept me in line [Bridge, spoken seriously] Then I heard her call out my name Like I'd become what I would chase Standing where she used to stand Without even knowing when [Breakdown, angelic whispering] Turn... It... Up... [Final Chorus] I always was her Just waiting to come alive Every girl I used to be Had to fade so she'd survive I wore a thousand borrowed faces Until my own could finally shine She never lived inside that picture She was always living in mine
