R.E.M. - She Just Wants to Be lyrics

It's not that she walked away
Her world got smaller all the usual places
The same destinations
Only something's changed
It's not that she wasn't rewarded
With pomegranate afternoons
And Mingus, Chet Baker and chess
It's not stampeding fortune
Or prim affectations she's off on her own
But she knows now is greater than the whole
Of the past is greater and now she knows

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be

It's not that the transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on weren't rich and loaded
With beautiful vulnerability
And now she knows

Now is greater now is greater
And she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be

Now is greater now is greater
And she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be

It's not like if angels
Could truly look down stir up the trappings
And light on the ground
Remind us of what, when, why or who
That how's up to us me and you
And now is greater than the whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows that

Now she knows
