Her body is a difficult sister and she loves her
And hides her somewhere in herself, safe from harm
She's barely coasting into a paycheck, stuck on empty
Her blue eyes frozen green in the low-lit ATM

I need a way to measure the distance
I need a way to say why
Out of breath or out of key
Her voice resonated in me

Wish on everything
Pray that she remains
Proud and strange and so hopelessly hopeful

Her body is a difficult sister and she loves her
And hides her somewhere in herself, safe from harm
Her night shift is over, she's writing you a postcard
To say that she's okay and it's raining there again

My fury's rising faster than bus fares
Could someone clarify why
There's no structured narrative?
No neat storyline to explain

Wish on everything
Pray that she remains
Proud and strange and so hopelessly hopefull
