R. E. M. - She Just Wants To Be lyrics

rate me

It's not that she walked away,<br>Her world got smaller.<br>All the usual places, the same destinations,<br>Only something's changed.<br><br>It's not that she wasn't rewarded<br>With pomegranate afternoons<br>And mingus, chet baker and chess.<br><br>It's not the stampede and fortune<br>Of prim affectations<br>She's off on a right and she knows now<br>It's greater than the whole<br>Of the past<br>It's greater<br>And now she knows.<br><br>She just wants to be somewhere<br>She just wants to be.<br>She just wants to be somewhere<br>She just wants to be.<br><br>It's not that the transparency<br>Of earlier incarnations<br>Now we're back on, we're enriched<br>And loaded<br>With beautiful vulnerability<br>And now she knows.<br><br>Now is greater<br>And she knows that.<br><br>She just wants to be somewhere<br>She just wants to be.<br>She just wants to be somewhere<br>She just wants to be.<br><br>Now is greater<br>Now is greater<br>And she knows that<br><br>She just wants to be somewhere<br>She just wants to be.<br>She just wants to be somewhere<br>She just wants to be.<br><br>It's not like the angels<br>Could truly look down<br>Stir up the trappings<br>And light on the ground.<br>Remind us of what, when,<br>Why or who? <br>The how's up to us, me and you<br>And now is greater than the whole<br>Of the past<br>Is greater and now she knows that.<br><br>Now she knows.
