Megan Slankard - Practice Electra lyrics

rate me

He said, "practice Electra

You might need me someday

Though the wind blows your hair, tugs you around

I know you won't blow away"

Yes, my name is Electra

And I'm a talk-aholic

But I get kinda quiet on days when I'm feeling

Especially sad or melancholic

He said, "practice laughing at my jokes

They don't all make you cringe

Practice crying when I leave you

It'll give me something to drown in"

He said, "c'mon an' smile at me

Don't treat me like an invader

Practice, Electra

You might need me later

Yes, my name is Electra

And I check my e-mail every fifteen minutes

But I never go to rambunctious parties

'Cause I have my limits

He said, "practice, Electra

You might need me later

You've tried to say goodbye, goodbye

But you just say see ya later alligator"

He said, "practice smiling when I love you

It doesn't seem right when you're smirking

Practice asking for reasons

When you feel this ain't working

Oh c'mon Electra, don't treat me like an invader

C'mon and smile at me, don't treat me like that invader

Yes, my name is Electra, and who knows, I might need you later
