The crucifix by the window
makes me fear it might be a bad day.
The light bouncing off of Jesus' hands
while my hand slowly slides past my waist.
I sing all my hopes for tomorrows
not happy, not sad, but okay.
I dance in the kitchen like a goddamn showgirl,
and I give myself all the bouquets.
I don't know what I'm running from,
running from,
running from,
it's a pity.
I don't know what I'm running from,
but myself,
and this song,
and the city.
And if there's a God,
they ain't showing me.
Or maybe I've worn myself out in the dance to Just Be.
I look for cities in lovers,
like walking through streets to what's been.
He looks like a West End I could have called home,
so I lock my doors, scream,
"don't come in".
I don't know what I'm running from,
running from,
running from,
it's a pity.
I don't know what I'm running from,
but myself,
and this song,
and the city.
And if there's a God,
they ain't showing me.
Or maybe I've worn myself out in the dance to Just Be.
And I waited all night at the park to hear an apology...
And it shows that I'm young and I'm bored,
and I'm hopeful which isn't easy.
The crucifix by the window
makes me fear it might be a bad day.
It's taken me this long to write you a song,
cause' it's so hard to sing a Sorry.
