ONE GIRL 
Just a girl trying to get enough

Standing in a doorway 
Living on the dark side down 
Leaning out a window 
Bending to the sunlight sound  
Watching out for strangers 
Always keep a light on 
Not afraid of danger 
Not afraid of no one 
  
Just a girl in the usual way 
Just a laugh when there’s nothing to say 
Just a gasp at the end of the day 
Just a breath that can take you away 
Crack the door, try to get enough air 
Make a break, turn your back if they stare 
Pick a lock at the edge of despair 
At the point where you wonder what’s there 
  
Just a girl trying to get enough 
   [bad word] into mirrors 
Following the long way round 
Swallowing [bad word] 
Nothing’s gonna take me down 
Bleeding in the shadow 
Colors fade to dull brown 
Leaves that fall unanswered 
Twisting to the cold ground 
  
Never turn at the sound of my name 
Never flinch when I’m losing the game 
Never blink when I’m caught in a dare 
Never ache to belong anywhere   
in a world where the weather goes sour 
In a room you can rent by the hour 
In the worst kind of mood to get through 
In the way that I feel I’m with you
