Lyrics

The Sofa

Hope I can accept the wild thing in me
Hope nobody comes to tame her
And she can be free
Sick of second-guessing my behaviour and what I want to be
Just let me lie here on the sofa
And put the reruns on TV

I'll be fine, I'll be okay
I feel kind of lucky right now, and I'm not ashamed to say
I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be a bitch when I get mad
I want to settle down, oh, to fall in love
But sometimes I just want to fuck
I love my life, I love my life
But sometimes I just want to-

Let me lie here on
I could lie here all day long
Let me lie here on the sofa
The sofa, the sofa, on the sofa
Sometimes I just want to-

Be no one thing
The intellectual beauty queen
Didn't make it out to California
Where I thought I might clean the slate
Feels a little like I'm stuck in Seven Sisters
North London, oh, England
And maybe that's okay

Maybe that's fine, I'll be OK
I feel kind of lucky right now, and I'm not ashamed to say
I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be a bitch when I get mad
I want to settle down, oh, to fall in love
But sometimes I just want to fuck
I love my life, I love my life
But sometimes I just want to-

Let me lie here on
I could lie here all day long
Let me lie here on the sofa
The sofa, the sofa, on the sofa
Sometimes I just want to-

Be no one thing
The intellectual beauty queen
At the warfare
Let me lie here on
I could lie here all day long
Let me lie here on the sofa
The sofa, the sofa, on the sofa

Hope I can accept the wild thing in me
Hope nobody comes to tame her
And she can be free
