Rapunzel (Let Your Hair Down)
Lyrics and Music by Andrew Weiss

Oh, I'd walk across a wire to get to where I wanna go
Oh, this bow and arrow, you shot it through my heart, but you don't let it show

Rapunzel, let your hair down
Cause I need to know if you still think about me, while you're looking out your window
I just got to know

Oh, you play with my desire, and you take it where you want it to go
Oh, does it hurt to swallow your pride while you're staring at a rainbow?

Rapunzel, let your hair down
Cause I need to know if you still think about me, while you're looking out your window
Or have you let it go?

Rapunzel, let your hair down
Cause I need to know if you still think about me, while you're looking out your window
I just got to know





I just got to know
