She Just Wants To Be

Loading ...Lyrics
It’s not that she walked away,
Her world got smaller.
All the usual places
The same destinations
Only something’s changed.
It’s not that she wasn’t rewarded
With pomegranate afternoons
Of Mingus, Chet Baker and chess
It’s not stampeding fortune
Or prim affectations
She’s off on her own
But she knows
Now is greater than the whole of the past
Is greater, and now she knows.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
It’s not that the transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on, weren’t rich
And loaded with beautiful vulnerability
But now she knows
Now is greater
And she knows that.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
Now is greater, now is greater
And she knows that.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
It’s not like if angels
Could truly look down
Stir up the trappings
A light on the ground
Remind us of what, when, why or who
That how’s up to us, me and you
And now is greater than the whole of the past
Is greater and now she knows that.
Now she knows.
