An awkward girl with her guitar, keeping to herself Friday nights alone with the records on her shelf A waitress pouring ginger ale and coke Someone you ask out as a joke I've been that girl who fades away Accepting what I've got Stuck in what I am and everything I'm not I've only seen this tiny world I'm in where I can only be what I've been See a world beautiful and strange Spinning off somewhere saying: Meet me there! Look look how fast it runs away singing: Follow close and reach for me See that you've got so much more for to be Before it's over, before it's over I can't go write another song, I'm too afraid to play Or dream how things can change but only see what's in my way I can't go back to what I was before, now that I can see so much more See a world beautiful and strange On a one way track and it won't come back Look, look how fast it runs away singing: Follow close and reach for me See that you've got so much more to be Before it's over I never even knew a world was waiting Somehow something awful made that world appear Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened Happy that I came Happy that I'm here I can see a world beautiful and strange Can you see it too? It's so close don't let it get away there's so much to do Before its over
