It must be difficult to look at me
It must be difficult to listen to me
I missed a thousand trains
I got lost coming back from where everybody knows how to come back
I thought
I tried
I made a space for myself
Between the lights and the light* concrete
We behave like we're tame
Ladies don't shout,
They're smart, they don't sit on the ground
I gave in, I gave in
And I put my shoes on
I wandered a thousand nights
Though the darkest streets
Where air won't reach and
I forgot how to breathe,
So scared that
I no longer knew of whom I was afraid
I thought
I tried
I made a space for myself
Between the lights and the light* concrete
I know that if you're not here I go crazy
But I need to be so we both are
You threw away the boots that hurt me
And I had to be very brave in a former life so that today
So that I am this afraid today
Oh oh oh
I think that today and so far
I chased away insomnia
But stay
In case it comes back
And surprises me unarmed
Naked and wild
Naked and wild
Naked and wild
Naked and wild
I thought
I tried
I can't nor want to make a place for myself
Between the clouds and the light* concrete
