Annie

[Chorus]

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

She needs someone who's close by

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

[Verse 1]

I've been missin' you, missin' you

Hopin' you'll return my calls

I've been wishin' for, waitin' for

Something to break down the walls

[Pre-Chorus]

I need permission to come around, come on over

'Cause I'm not afraid of the monsters

In the borders of your mind

Won't you come into the light?

And you're somebody's daughter

But you can't put your thoughts in order

And you're lookin' up at the sky

If you need permission to fly

Now I know the reason why

[Chorus]

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

She needs someone who's close by

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

[Verse 2]

If you're pushin' through, pullin' through

You don't have to say no more

There's a part of you, part of you

Knows what you are searchin' for

[Pre-Chorus]

I need permission to come around, come on over

'Cause I'm not afraid of the monsters

In the borders of your mind

Won't you come into the light?

And you're somebody's daughter

But you can't put your thoughts in order

And you're lookin' up at the sky

If you need permission to fly

Now I know the reason why

[Chorus]

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

She needs someone who's close by

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

She needs someone who's close by

[Post-Chorus]

She needed help right from the start

So how would you think I'd left you fall to your knees?

You're callin' me

And I wanna give you my hardest hard enough

You're back to the start, now finish up this round

Is it enough?

[Bridge]

Open your eyes

To the edge, to the edge and into mine

Annie, you can cry

Show me you're alive

In the end, in the end, you know you tried

[Pre-Chorus]

I need permission to come around, come on over

'Cause I'm not afraid of the monsters

In the borders of your mind

Won't you come into the light?

And you're somebody's daughter

But you can't put your thoughts in order

And you're lookin' up at the sky

If you need permission to fly

Now I know the reason why

[Chorus]

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

She needs someone who's close by

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

Annie can't look after herself

She needs someone who's close by
