Girls of These Days

歌词

[Verse 1] She keeps receipts in a coffee tin Names every door she won't walk in Red nails tapping on the train Making a plan, then changing lanes She knows the price of a quiet room How to leave before the flowers bloom Sends one heart, then deletes the thread Carries a whole small world in her head [Pre-Chorus] Don't call her difficult She simply reads the room Don't call her temporary She makes a place and moves [Chorus] Girls of these days, we don't wait in line We build our own table, we redraw the signs Soft when we choose it, steel when we need A pocket full of questions and a mouthful of dreams Girls of these days, hear the whole town say You can be many things and still be okay [Verse 2] She wears old boots with a borrowed coat Keeps three bad jokes in every note Calls her mother from the grocery aisle Laughs at the mess and stays awhile She knows a yes can carry a cost Knows a no can return what's lost Takes the long way home by the river bend Makes room for a stranger, calls them friend [Pre-Chorus] Don't call her difficult She simply knows her worth Don't call her temporary She's been here from the first [Chorus] Girls of these days, we don't wait in line We build our own table, we redraw the signs Soft when we choose it, steel when we need A pocket full of questions and a mouthful of dreams Girls of these days, hear the whole town say You can be many things and still be okay [Bridge] Some days she is tired, some days she is brave Some days she needs help, some days she can save No perfect picture, no polished parade Just a living, changing shape [Final Chorus] Girls of these days, we don't wait in line We build our own table, we redraw the signs Soft when we choose it, steel when we need A pocket full of questions and a mouthful of dreams Girls of these days, let the whole town say You can be many things and still be okay Girls of these days, changing every day Still becoming, still enough, still finding our way [Outro] Still becoming Still enough Finding our way
