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
Running into mirrors Following the long way round Swallowing the rumors 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
