Select Lyrics from Coming Back Again

25 ½

I'm 25 ½
And I can't find my stockings
They say I don't need a boy
It's OK, It's OK, It's OK
The ring didn't fit right anyway

I'm going down to my violet underground
But I'm coming back again

And if I must dance alone, I will still dance
And if I must fly alone, I will still fly
And if I must be alone, I will still be

Trying to find a place to sit
I sit in my closet
And smell the smoke-filled clothes from last night
And I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
Who'll be on your sofa next
Or will I leave a lasting impression

I'm going down to my violet underground
But I'm coming back again

And if I must dance alone, I will still dance
And if I must fly alone, I will still fly
And if I must be alone, I will still be

I'm coming back again

Shy

Hide those eyes
Keep it all inside

Couldn't find the freedom to let go
Couldn't have the courage to say so

Why
Why am I shy

It's lonely on the outside
Stop holding it all in
Let it out
Before it breaks your insides

Inside
Outside

Never knew that before
Will someone show me how
How to be myself, to let go

Why
Why am I shy

Let me go
I need better teaching
Let me go
My heart is aching

Inside
Outside

It's lonely on the outside
So don't hide those eyes
Don't keep it all inside no more

I'm Alive

You said you loved me
But all it took was for her to walk by
Seems I've fallen by the wayside
If you have any leftovers
Bring me a doggie bag
I may be forgotten damaged goods
But I'm alive

I'm alive
And I mean something

If you're not interested
Just say so
I don't need to waste my time
Or yours
You can love that girl
Who's miles away
But you can't fuck a girl
Who's miles away

I'm Alive
And I mean something

I fall apart between the edges
While you break away clean
I can see you clearly
And all you can see of me is my beam
My glory
My prize
Don't forget the best surprise
She hurt you
You hurt me
No tears in my eyes

I'm Alive
And I mean something

Somersault

Confusion
The angles spin
New angles create
My existence within
Don't know where I'm going
Or where I'll end up
I'm spinning
Somersaults

Can't see the ground
Can't see the ceiling
I'm spinning
Somersaults

Here we go
Up we go
Round we go
Spin we go
We will all find our way
Anyway

Dandylion

I love
I love my dandylion

You wore it
I remember the yellow
Against the black
We watched as they
Mowed em down
Like they were weeds

Hey they're no weeds
No they're not weeds
Cause I love the dandylions

Fill em up with your power
Fill em up with it now

Dandylions,
Oh why you have to go now?

It still hurts
It still breaks
As you pluck them outta
The ground
Misses you my dandylions

String

I was holding on by a string
I was holding on and
You came and cut it

When I lie in that space
Between your arms and your chest
I feel like I can't get enough
But
You came and cut it

My faith melts
My faith bleeds
My faith has lost it's way
Cause
You came and cut it

I thought I couldn't cry
I thought I couldn't break
I never thought I would ever see
That you don't belong with me
But
You came and cut it

I was holding on

Fog

Fog lulls me
Puts me into a daze
It unites me
I looked through all the stacks
But still couldn't find you
Guess I gotta leave it up to fate

Hey, what's your name?
I don't know your name
But I know your face

He said, "where's your faith girl?"
I said, "sometimes it's lost"
It likes to hide sometimes
And I'm not in the mood
For hide and seek today

Lost and Found
Is there a lost and found for you

I can't see a thing
Is it me
Or is it the fog
In the way

Is it me
Or is it the fog
In the way

I know
I'll find you someday
