tonight

And I
Yearn like an addict
For these moments of insanity
To help distract me
From my momentary humanity
For once,
I don’t want to be held responsible
Tonight,
I don’t want to be a leader
Yeah, tonight, I just want to be a girl
Tonight
Just a girl

Who am I?
Child born of difference
What am I?
Merely the offspring of fire wind and rain
I who can only see the stars out at night
With a mortal’s day-blinded sight
A scared day-dreamer,
With a heart full of marking time
Kept in step tonight
Tonight…..
Just a girl

I’ve
Spent all my time
Watching for the other side of truth
Wondering if it’s just me
Or the simple follies of youth
So go easy on these bones of mine
Don’t ask too many questions
Cause I’m just
A little bit desperate
And I’m not ready to give in tonight
Tonight…
For once,
Just a girl
