She’s Going Places

[Verse 1]
I make up a city, drugstore, and a sycamore tree
In my boredom, I build and afford them
I sing for my supper, I fill up a Tupperware jar
With the places of the art, if I made it
And I think that I'm loved, 'cause I know that I've grieved
And I turned twenty-one as I spun on my feet
And I wait every day for the space in between
Turn on first just to circle it, nowhere to be

[Chorus]
Oh, she's goin' places
She's goin' places
Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions
Foretold and guaranteed

[Verse 2]
I long for the mythic, the cold and the cryptic
I swear I can feel it, the cracks in the ceilin'
A note in a bottle, washed up on an east river pier
If I find it, I'll learn what I'm doing here
I think that I'm loved, 'cause I know that I've grieved
And I turned twenty-one as I spun on my feet
And I paint by the numbers, I fill in the blank
And I know that I'm here, but I don't know who to thank

[Chorus]
Oh, she's goin' places
She's goin' places
Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions
Foretold and guaranteed

[Bridge]
Tell you all that I'm thinking
It's a world that won't happen
So I guess in existing
We are laughing at silence
I've been carved on a keyhole
Undiscovered and ancient
And the rest is just filler
All the rest is just patience

[Chorus]
She's goin' places
She's goin' places
Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions
Foretold and guaranteed
