Sheila Nicholls - Hannah lyrics

rate me

Hannah's friends were watching

when she met him at the end of the bar

Hannah's friends were thinking

that he wouldn't even make it that far

'This is for you,' he said,

her gaze unbroken as she licked her spoon

He put his hand in his pocket,

and pulled out the moon

He gave it to her,

her breathing stumbled and her eyes became wide

And as she swallowed cream,

she could already feel him inside

She'd seen similar before,

a book, a ring, a key, and more

But never as clever and as clean and as pure

And he said,

'You're the one, you're the only one I've been waiting for,'

So she took his eyes and trusted,

and they slipped through the door

Texas girl in New York,

don't call her naive

Though she's seen it before,

she just risks to believe

She still has the faith in her battered ideals and she,

she still holds the courage to scale her fears

Well spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind

Most lose hope when that's not what we find

I saw her in the morning

and she was crying in the park

She said his girlfriend came home

and screamed through the dark

She said that she called her a hore and then she spat in her face

so Hannah had left in silent disgrace

And then she turned to be she said, ‘now what do I do?'

and I witnessed her shame, how it was mine too

And now she even calls him from Texas, she gets his machine,

he made her question herself, her worth, her esteem

So, don't say she the one and then forget

don't hand her the moon and then charge interest on debt now

don't give her your lines cause your mask may be flawless

but you're full of shit and your campaign is coreless

And the moon won't do if it's just a snapshot

and hell neither will you if that's all that you got now

neither will you if that's all that you got now

neither will you if that's all that you got now

neither will you if that's all that you got

Texas girl in New York, don't call her naive

Though she's seen it all before, she just risks to believe

Well she still has the faith in her battered ideals and she,

she still has the courage to scale her fears

spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind,

most lose hope when that's not what we find...
