Eleanor

I saw Eleanor
Standing in the kitchen
Eyes falling through the floor
Eyes like a wishing well
I think she wanted more
From kitchen floors

Eleanor, Eleanor
What were you waiting for?
Some kind of miracle?
Oh, Eleanor
Were you just terrified?
Of that truth that you might find

I know Eleanor (Eleanor, Eleanor)
She curses like a poet
What is she silent for? (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
Oh, why don't she fight it?
Maybe things got too loud (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)
Maybe she's just too proud

Eleanor, Eleanor
What were you waiting for?
Some kind of miracle?
Oh, Eleanor
Were you just terrified?
Of that truth that you might

So come on now, Eleanor
I swear to God you wanted more
Didn't she say life was boring?
Didn't she used to sing glory?

Come on, oh, Eleanor
The world was knockin' at your door
And you just stood on your kitchen floor
You just stood there, Eleanor

What's next, not the sound of war
The glory you once say for
Come on, oh, Eleanor
What were you waiting for?
