She Just Wants To Be - Live Version Museum TV/Radio
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
Of 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
It's not that transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on, weren't rich
And loaded with beautiful vulnerability
And now she knows
Now is greater
And she knows that
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
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.
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
Of 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
It's not that transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on, weren't rich
And loaded with beautiful vulnerability
And now she knows
Now is greater
And she knows that
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
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.
