Hallelujah, the spring is bringing bombs of purple on the street
I walk the dog and I crush them with my feet
Oh, the morning
The sun too bright and the moon not bright enough
I got nothing new to say except I think I’ve had enough
I don’t believe you when you tell me I’m a good girl
There must be a heart that keeps me here
Away from the panic and the fear
There must be a heart that keeps me here
Did I break you?
I really did not think it could be done
And suddenly the cards had all been played and I had won
So where is the good feeling?
Where is the lighting up?
Where are the thousand voices screaming, telling me this is enough?
I don’t believe you when you tell me I’m a good girl
There must be a heart that keeps me here
Away from the panic and the fear
There must be a heart that keeps me here
Oh, everyday and ordinary, does it make me happy?
Does it curl beneath the surface of my skin
Will I let it in?
There must be a heart that keeps me here
Away from the panic and the fear
There must be a heart that keeps me here
