Why can't I pluck you from the world Someone said I'm just a girl I push my fingers in the soil They don't know you but they know what you were going for Since you can't remember then I guess it's all okay I'll survive September (November/December) if you just survive today Though you've asked me for the only thing that's really mine You can have it You can have all the time that's left Why can't I ever get enough When I've already said too much
I think I can still smell the gin And the dirty laundry that I should have left you lying in Take it easy on me because I haven't forgotton yet You make it easy for me to pretend we never met And if freedom is affection then you'll get the highest form Of liberation I used to be a lot like you The ones I loved were afraid of me too Now I can finally understand How to kill someone with you having to use your hands
