She cries

She cries
Standing out on the back porch
Wrapped railings in garland
White lights, cold air
The tiny bulbs like trapped pixies
Sparkling eyes observe this as
A single tear falls into her lap
Wanting more
Getting less
Searching for love
Through sharp blades
And dark rooms
Christmas is almost here
Trying to find yourself
Living through pain and fear

Chorus:
This is a song for any girl
Who wonders where she is in this world
Losing your faith and every care
Carving peace signs, and cuttin' hair
Wanting some sunshine, eternal best friends
Relationships that really don't end
Wanna get rid of all this crap
Drinking dreams straight from the tap
This is a song for you.

Love potions of every brand
Sort 'em out, find the one
Gulp greedily, held breath
Holding on
Dizzy spell
Here he is Mr. Right
He's transitory; has a girlfriend;
Leaves town next Tuesday;
All of the above
Just 'cuz you're young doesn't mean
That it's all just hormones
Depression and lucid dreams
Creep softly in the middle of the nightmares
So scream this out
Sweetheart

Chorus

This is where the ride ends
This is where you change…

Chorus x2 (first soft and plaintive, repeat loud and strident 'til fade)
