[Verse 1]
Believe me now, you're too young, girl
Cherry pie with your gold curls
Growin' up like a grapevine
Wrapped around you in due time
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
[Post-Chorus]
Up, up away
Up, up away
[Verse 2]
Singing like it's a full moon (Singing like it's a full moon)
Careless now that he has you (Careless now that he has you)
Turns you on to the right songs (Turns you on to the right songs)
Promises that you're hooked on (Promises that you're hooked on)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
[Post-Chorus]
Up, up away
Up, up away
[Chorus]
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia, when young blood escapes
Vows that break go up, up away
[Outro]
Up, up away
Up, up away
Up, up away
Up, up away

In a Tumblr Q&A, Day said:
“Sweet Ophelia is about fragility. I wrote it at a time when the person I had lost my virginity to left me for somebody else. I felt betrayed. The only thing I could do was write about it.”
