Regina Spektor - A Cannon lyrics
[Regina Spektor - A Cannon lyrics]
I'm waiting
The boat should be here very soon
And I mind less and less
All the silly pictures
That hang 'round my room, for now
I write you a letter, I hope you feel better
I hope you forgive the transgressions
I've given you love and I've
Given you anger as well
And I meant them both
I always knew it was coming this way
It was coming this way
I always knew a big boat would
Come and take me away take me away
I stood in my bed, then I slipped on my dress
Then I ran through the halls like a ghost
And in case someone heard me
I grabbed up a dagger that I'd never use
Unless
Bare feet on the cobblestone street
Then a beach
Then a splash 'round my ankles, my knees
Then my thighs and my eyes open wide
I threw myself right into the sea
Then I could see it was coming my way
It was coming my way
I always knew a big boat would
Come and take me away
Take me away, take me away
I've woken up once, and I've woken up twice
And I've woken up millions
And millions of times
Somebody's got to tell all the people
To be like the water
Somebody's got to tell all the people
To be like the water
I would if I could, but I can't, so I don't
My heart breaks too easy
My words get all jumbled
And when I wear lipstick
Then no one understands me at all
They think I'm saying hello and goodbye
And hello and goodbye
They think I'm saying hello and
Goodbye, and hello and goodbye, hello
I've woken up once, and I've woken up twice
And I've woken up millions
And millions of times
