Heavy Rotation and Forgive Me for My Lyrics

Wallflower
Better Than Ezra

You were standing on that corner when it all came crashing down
On your black shoes and your black hat and you pulled your black dress round
I suppose I should feel sorry, but I see you dressed in silk
With your double cappuccino and it's topped with twice-steamed milk
Well I suppose I should feel sorry after all
But I'm not crying anymore

And do you forget who you are, when you're the last one in the bar
And the morning unfurls...on the wallflower
Wallflower girl...on the wallflower girl.

You're in and out and upside down and halfway in between
You're Holly-go-lightly, yeah I heard you played that scene
You say you're an actress and a painter on the side
And you used to read the tarot cards but you don't like what you find
Well I suppose we both know our futures anyway

When you're climbing up a mountainside
You know how it hurts your ears when they pop
But that's the price you pay, now..for being on top.

Now the light is turning greener and my thoughts are ringing true
And the reason that I'm so hard girl, is I see myself in you
And the mountaintops and valleys and the vantage points between
Yeah, you used to read the tarot cards but you don't like what you've seen
Well I suppose we both know our futures anyway

And do you forget who are you are, when you're the last one in the bar
And then morning unfurls...on the wallflower
The wallflower girl...on the wallflower girl.
