what
she lives for
i
know a girl who does just fine on her own
and any chance she gets she takes her body to the air
the problem being that her will is stronger than her bone
but every time she goes there
it feels like home
digging
in her toes she handles everything he throws her
taking to the air it's what she lives for
do you like to play?
she said i’m happier that way
and when it rains i can’t resist
to put my belly in the mud
i’ve never been to chile
but i’ve been to baltimore
she said you’ll think this silly
i’ve been able to fly since I was four
running
down the line
she meets her man in half the time
taking to the air it’s what she lives for
if you aren't angry now
you haven’t paid attention somehow
hear that cracking rib and sternum
since the day you took me out.
she
said i know myself
to play i’ve got to lay out
i can see me now
picking the gravel and glass out of my mouth
i
just thought
there were two people
just two i thought
now every collision makes me wince
i’ll just have to quit for a while
then
she left the ground
flew out the door without a sound
taking to the air
it’s what she lives for
