I can't think with all the noise in here Smoke and chatter the roaches all scatter You're saying your line again clearing your mind again Your thoughts are pitiful lucky you're beautiful now 'Cause I finally figured out what the stevedores were on about Guess you're leaving now And when you're sad you start to fade away Love me to death but just get it over with If you get a notion to drown in the ocean Write back baby tell me if it's black or it's blue 'Cause the dark it looks good on you And that vacant look does too Gets me even now So long now Baby's got her own ideas When a piece of her mind is all she'll leave behind run the other way Until you're ready to sail I've got nothing to say 'Cause I finally figured out what the stevedores were on about Guess you're leaving now So long now Baby's got her own ideas And a piece of her mind is all she'll leave behind when she's gone away Until you're ready to sail I've got nothing to say So long now Baby's got her own ideas So long now Baby's got her own ideas So long now

She was nine years old when I first met her She didn't dress like anyone When she ran in a race the boys couldn't catch her I stood back and let her run I used to walk her home after school Every chance that I could I'd say to her, "You're not like the other girls" And she'd say, "Good" She's got a mind of her own She don't care what they say They can tell her she won't But she will anyway She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me The world turned and ten years later I was playin' in a band She was chasin' an education College boys beggin' for her hand I used to call her late at night Every chance that I could I'd say to her, "I can't get you out of my mind" And she'd say, "Good" She's got a mind of her own She don't care what they say They can tell her she won't But she will anyway She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me Now, here we are, a few turns later She still don't dress like anyone People say she's got no limits I stand back and let her run 'Cause when the lights go out at night What we're feelin' is understood I'd say to her, "You're not like the other girls" And she says, "Good" She's got a mind of her own She don't care what they say They can tell her she won't But she will anyway She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me They can tell her she won't But she will anyway She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me Her heart belongs to me She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me She's got a mind of her own Her heart belongs to me She's got a mind of her own But her heart belongs to me She's got a mind of her own

You've got a razor tongue And your words cut me open, bloody and broken Let's let this soak in I thought I'd never wanna see you again But I saw you again last night And now I'm gonna do what I said I'd never do I'm throwing all my pride away and crawling back to you If breaking all my rules is something that I have to do, Then I hope you break yours too (do you remember saying) Our goodbyes in your room We'll pack our things and leave, come back next year to see the Strangers that we've let ourselves become One last goodbye on the Shoulder you cried on, let You dry your eyes on my Blue shirt that you loved I know that you'll sleep fine without me by your side Without me by your side I took the long way to your house so I could see if your light was on, in your bedroom And now I know that you're the one who I'll compare everyone else to My heart is black and blue, we're getting older too And keeping everything inside is something that I do We used to make this happen We used to make this - Happen (Think back on everything we said) Everything that we abandoned The swings behind your house might as well be broken now We were lying to ourselves One last goodbye on the Shoulder you cried on, let You dry your eyes on my Blue shirt that you loved I know that you'll sleep fine without me by your side Without me by your side And there's just some things about me That you will never understand Things will never go back to the way that they used to be Things will never go back to the way that they used to be

Dear, queen I'm sorry that it's four in the morning I've finally calmed down but I'm still pacing These things getting so fucked, there's so many We're still young and not emotionally ready (Yeah) My queen Always goes against the grain, she swims upstream And never judges the soul by the journey Always cares and fights for the world to be free And wants what those eyes can't see You are my holy ghost And that I love you the most Hey, queen This steady glow has been held upright but it's fading And I wonder if you're still thinking about me Even though I can't feel what you are feeling I'll just stay in the one place that feels safe And it's your memory You are my holy ghost And that I loved you the most Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh
