She's just about as modest as they come (sarcasm),
smiling like a fiend,
she's keeping tabs on all the things she's done,
I just try to spark her memories.
And it just so happens I've had these exact same thoughts before,
I just try to tell her what I know, what I do and what I don't.
She tells me she's lost beyond any reasonable doubt,
Yeah she stays up nights wondering what life's all about,
and she's a singer but she ain't keen to carry a tune,
and I'm not sure what on Earth she's waiting for...
Because life goes slow,
memories are short,
so you aught to pull yourself together, darling,
you're not the only one,
so pick yourself up,
buckle up your boots and do your make-up,
you've got nothing to lose unless you've got something to tell me, girl,
oh is there something I aught to know?
And she's all about making new friends,
and accomplices,
to accompany her to accomplish the big things ahead.
And she's all about coffee one-on-one,
and conversation,
and learning as much as she can muster from the people she's met.
Oh but she doesn't know yet,
she doesn't know any better,
but sometimes a smile is just a means to an end,
it's just a means to an end.
And if all she wanted was to be wanted,
well I'd be happy to oblige.
But she doesn't know what's good for her,
and Lord knows neither do I.
