Our words move aimlessly through empty city squares,
Collecting into mobs and angry like their prayers.
They breathe the air we fought to leave behind.
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time,

Because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do.

We fought to find our thoughts, the runway walked us through.
The swimsuit portion of the evening canceled due to rain.
The pageant's called again. You'll find this kind of blank adventure happens all the time,

Because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do, Miss Teen Wordpower.

So we float through the streets, breathe city lights, claims of the crown forgotten.
So we float through the streets, float through the streets,

The way you do, Miss Teen Wordpower.
Nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do, Miss Teen Wordpower.

    I think that this song is about a girl who gossips horribly.

    "because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do".
    I would think that gossip wrecks souls. Also, she is "Miss Teen WORDpower". Gossip is using the power of words, and gossip is a very teenage thing to do. She may or may not be an actual pagent queen. I don't know. But she definitely gossips.
