Josephine
Frank Turner

I heard the name Josephine


It came to me in dream


And I don't usually set too much store by the things these things might mean


It was spoken with seriousness


More of a whisper than a scream

So now, I'm waiting on some Josephine

To show herself to me


I could have been anyone

I imagined I could be

I just needed somebody


To show me how to be

I could have been Napoleon

Could have been Beethoven

Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me

So come now Josephine, show yourself to me


So come on now Josephine, give me what I need

I don't like to be needy but needs must


I can't stand being the person that I've been

I'm an impending car crash

I'm the first one on the scene

I'm a defeated commander

I'm a tone-deaf composer

I'm a strange name whispered in a dream


I could have been anyone


I imagined I could be


I just needed somebody

To show me how to be

I could have been Napoleon

Could have been Beethoven

Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me

So come now Josephine, show yourself to me


So come on now Josephine

Let's pretend it's Halloween

You come as a car crash

I'll go as James Dean

I'm Napoloeon on Elba

And you're a hundred days in 1815

I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved

And you're the only one who's ever gonna know what they mean


Come on now Josephine

Wake me from my sleep

Could have been anyone

I ended up being me

I could have been wide awake

Could have been what you need

I wish that I was anyone except for just me

So come on now Josephine

Show yourself to me

Come on now Josephine

Show yourself to me

Come on now Josephine

Show yourself to me

Come on now Josephine

Show yourself to me
