Late at night
I come on home
Waiting for the moment we're alone
Hoping you’ll have some good news to say
I come inside
You're by my side
And next to me I can feel you hiding
From all your dreams and fears that run you down
So what can a poor girl say?
I can't hide with you
I can’t run away
I wish that you could see there is a way
To live with love
To dream out loud
To be weird proudly
But I can't give you that cause it's yours to take
And so I light one up
Beneath the stars
You hate my smoking but quitting's too hard
I never meant to make you mad like that
And silently you're on the couch
With your phone just drowning out
Or drowning in the world
We call “today”
So what can a poor girl say?
I can't hide with you
I can't run away
I wish that you could see there is a way
To live with love
To dream out loud
To be weird proudly
But I can't give you that cause it’s yours to take
