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
|
And Mingus, Chet Baker and chess
|
It's not stampede and fortune
|
Of prim affectations
|
She's off on a riot(?)
|
And 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
|
Were 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
|
The 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.
