lyrics

There was a girl, one time, she walked alone
Her shadow even stayed behind
She strayed as far as feet can go
And kept on walkin with her mind
She kept on walkin with her mind

No recollection of before her first breath
When she slipped into cold loud air
Days turn over turn into decades,
Before she exhales, she’ll disappear
I said before she exhales she’ll disappear

She walked along a punchline sidewalk
Gazed out at the Southie sea
Swung near laughter, visible – distant
She let her hair grow to her knees

Alone, she wants no one to witness
What they’ll surely judge as wrong
Uncertainty leads to countless hours
Overthinking the same old song
Overthinking the same old song

Brown eyes search for equal passion,
While she gazes at the sea
Of faces’ stories of compassion,
To head- and heart-ache means to be
To head- and heart-ache means to be

Oh, she goes to places through the sidewalks
Still believes in Giving Trees
Strong in laughter, but distant –
Words are never enough to say what she means
