Balancing Act

Lyrics

Awol

She summoned me up to her court
As they could barely climb the stairs
Polished with lessons she were already told
Dressed in Adidas and a red dress

Oh so what's she gonna do
After rolling with those boys who are bad news
Now she's AWOL
Changing tables
Singing the songs of Baton Rouge
Her light would once light up a room
She was able
A fable
For you

Now it all feels like a mirage
With the layovers and no more money left in the jar
Cause of those pirates of suburban lark
Wrap you up in their arms
But guide you into the dark

Oh so what's she gonna do
After rolling with those boys who are bad news
Now she's AWOL
Changing tables
Singing the songs of Baton Rouge
Her light would once light up a room
She was able
A fable
For you

Oh so what's she gonna do
After rolling with those boys who are bad news
Now she's AWOL
Changing tables
Singing the songs of Baton Rouge
Her light would once light up a room
She was able
A fable
For you

That's gonna be really cool
Okay
Um
Second verse
