I met her out, walking
lost in the conversation and thought
she forgot nothing, but where I was
to let me bide easing
she paused with a wink, a nod, and a smile
I caught enough to miss her
at least not for a little while
and one day you'll find
I got just what i wanted here
in empty books and the baby hooks
with the names of the girl with the dull embrace
hey, hello, how are you
didn't we meet at a costume ball
she laughed, no, it's different, it was not
a dark alley pissing on a wall
that's when I knew we're meant to fall
and one day you'll find
I got just what I wanted here
some old soot and the vacant look
of the girls who just enjoy the chase
and so we talked to no one else
of premonitions come and gone
everything you know is wrong, she said
I know you know you're wrong, she said
let's go, I know the way to go
within, without
you're so lucky to let this out
and one day you'll find
I got just what I wanted here
a cracked rook on the highest roof
straining out at the girls I can't disgrace
I love you, I slipped and she began to come
she caught me watching, said I'm never far
couldn't even tell me you what want
she wanted what she wanted and I felt cold
I know I'm gone from someone
maybe I saw you kicking a can
leaning against the garbage to understand
why they're all boys and you're a man
I'm sure you begged them all to stop
staring at your noon stopwatch
and one day I'll find
I got just what I wanted here
a dull glare with the never there
of a girl with the gravity misplaced
she spoke in the lilt of insatiable chase
all vain glory and cruel face
all riddle rhymes I can't replace, not now
not ever with what I take
to my distaste her apathy hurt
and I was only trying to flirt
little still known of my fate
the oracle hung around like dead weight
and one day we all find
we get just what we wanted here
broken arms and some tarnished charms
of a jewel gone astray after a gate
so now it's time for questions
it's no answers and all smiles
pleasing and amusing as I
please for a little while
she said, let's go for a walk or picture show
one wish, honest
to wipe away the loneliness
I stopped by a river to take her in
she cursed out loud and pushed me in
now let's see if you'll sink or swim
I'll do what you can't do for them
I'll take you through all of it
the rumors and the lies and the bullshit
we'll wash away all our sin and grit
yours without and mine shoved in forever
and ever, always there, forever
and ever
and one day I'll find
she got just what she wanted here
the lazy looks and the things I took
from the ones who can't escape the fray
tied to a tree, trying to kiss her bold
trying to pry inside that soul
she turned her face as if to go
said there's, nowhere else to go
I know I love you
as simple as I'm sweet
she hissed, you know you know no love
that does not
repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and repeat
and one day she'll find
I've got just what i wanted here
I wandered such for a little luck
from a girl who can not run the race
I am the girl of the bitter embrace
I am the girl you'll forever chase
with your loins burning, all eyes of hate
I'm pulling you up and out to place
what do you need, you don't even know
a sad lonely crane standing in the shallows
waiting for wind to blow
you've got it all wrong
I said, I fear
I see what you mean
and I hear what you hear
there is division in all that's at stake
but look at the beautiful crest of the wave i create
maybe someday I will tell the truth
when I find someone who wants the truth
maybe someday I will tell the truth
when I find someone who wants the truth
and one day I'll find
I got just what i wanted here
a lonely place with my mind erased
against the girl with the girl with the cruel face
hey, look out, there goes a girl
who watched me diving for my pearls
hey, look out, there goes a girl
a woman who watched me dive for my pearls
one kiss, honest
I thought I said I wanted this
one kiss, honest
I said I thought I wanted this
