Steamboat

Well I’m just a stranger
I’m only a walker
I guess I am human
But sometimes I feel
Like I’m only a ghost
Like I’m only a wall
And if you come around honey
I’ll probably just follow you home cuz it’s all that I know how to do
I was born by a body
I’ll die by one too
and places are nothing if they ain’t got you
and one day I’ma be a steamboat baby
one day I can be your freight train lady
roll down the river, the miles won’t phase me
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
Still every night I call you on the phone
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
Well I’ve been arranging each of my movements
and all of my gestures and trying to fool myself into thinkin that everything
is small
that nothing has reason
I woke up crying a convulision of honesty brought me to life
when I thought I was gone
but I can’t put a light in the mouth of a song
and one day I’ma be a steamboat baby
one day I can be your freight train lady
I roll down the river, and the miles won’t phase me
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
Still every night I call you on the phone
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
