I Didn’t Pick This Dress

[Verse 1]
I live a mile from the centre of town
Right where the woods begin
I ride a yellow bike to go and buy my groceries and stuff
I go on Mondays
I didn’t pick this dress
The boys refuse to look me straight in the eye
I think they’re scared of me
Even the gravel gets the shivers when they knock on my door There’s coffee waiting

[Chorus]
I didn’t pick this dress, but I’m comfortable in it
I didn’t ask for this but I’ll take what am given
They both smell like soap
I’m nobody if she’s not here
I’m nobody if she’s not here

[Verse 2]
I live a mile from the centre of town
Right where the woods begin
Prefer the company of memory and thought (So do I) we sit in silence
The boys tell us things they don’t want us to know
They let us in when no one’s allowed to go
I’m behind his face

[Outro]
That’s my hiding place
I have no where else to go
I’ll tell them all they need to know that I will go back inside him
Prison
I’ll wait for someone else to show up
One who’s all set and ready to take me in
And he will hold me for a thousand years
I am nobody if he’s not here
Right where the woods begin is where I will be
If you should need me
