Story 'bout a girl

Story 'bout the world



Suddenly, something I'm not

You're something that you bought

Was it something I said

Little girl are you tripping on this?

Are you tripping all over it?

You better come up for air

Story about a girl

My story about the world, my



And you waking up slowly

nothing but lonely

Are you waking up

Holding, holding your breath

And are you looking for something

I promised you one thing

I promised I'll always, always

Be there



Baby girl, stand up and fight

Are you waking up slowly

Nothing but lonely

Are you waking up

Holding, holding your breath

And are you looking for something

Nothing but lonely

Are you waking up

Holding, holding your breath

Are you looking for something

I promise you one thing

I promise I'll always, always

Be there



With all my faith

And all my heart

And all those simple things you are



With all my faith

And all my heart

And all those simple things

You are
