I've seen the girl who'll pick up where I leave off she's already smoothing her hands for the pictures I've seen her sorting through my memories what's sweet? what's bitter? she wants what I can't give her. I've seen the girl who'll chew up what I bite off she's devising a better mouth just to kiss you any minute I'll have to surrender to her wishes what to take and what to set free? I wonder if she'll miss me. I've seen the girl who'll be brave when I run off she's been picking her fights like she knows how to win them and I've seen her sorting through my memories what's sweet? what's bitter? she wants what I can't give her. Every time I try to get out of her way, the day's full of kids giving you the finger, and speeders gonna k** you on your tiny street she wants to beat through all the hell and high water threatening what she believes that's when I know I should just drop everything and let her sing she's a better version of me I've seen the girl who'll remember what I lost she has never forgotten a name or a punchline she is the one that I have chosen I'm lost but she's found a better way to get 'round I tell myself you're not a fool
