She's Going Places

[Verse 1]

I make up a city, drugstore, and a sycamore tree

In my boredom, I build and afford them

I sing for my supper, I fill up a Tupperware jar

With the places of the art, if I made it

And I think that I'm loved, 'cause I know that I've grieved

And I turned twenty-one as I spun on my feet

And I wait every day for the space in between

Turn on first just to circle it, nowhere to be

[Chorus]

Oh, she's goin' places

She's goin' places

Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions

Foretold and guaranteed

[Verse 2]

I long for the mythic, the cold and the cryptic

I swear I can feel it, the cracks in the ceilin'

A note in a bottle, washed up on an east river pier

If I find it, I'll learn what I'm doing here

I think that I'm loved, 'cause I know that I've grieved

And I turned twenty-one as I spun on my feet

And I paint by the numbers, I fill in the blank

And I know that I'm here, but I don't know who to thank

[Chorus]

Oh, she's goin' places

She's goin' places

Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions

Foretold and guaranteed

[Bridge]

Tell you all that I'm thinking

It's a world that won't happen

So I guess in existing

We are laughing at silence

I've been carved on a keyhole

Undiscovered and ancient

And the rest is just filler

All the rest is just patience

[Chorus]

She's goin' places

She's goin' places

Sandstone inscriptions or an oracle's visions

Foretold and guaranteed
