Ruby

Ruby waits a while before she stays
Never looking back 'til he's miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She's not really tired, she's just overgrown

She says, "Hey, I could be wrong but at least I'm breathing
Hey, we could go anywhere but down"
She says, "Hey, let me be you" and I fall down screaming
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the crowd

Ruby never says what side she's on
She lives in the shade of unfinished songs
She has got a photographic soul
Everyone she meets in a fractured hole

She says, "Hey, I could be wrong but at least I'm breathing
Hey, we could go anywhere but down"
She says, "Hey, let me be you" and I fall down screaming
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the crowd

Ruby likes the sound of people's clothes
No one ever knows when she'll go
She's got reservations with a ghost
She's not looking back, she's just growing old

She says, "Hey, I could be wrong but at least I'm breathing
Hey, we could go anywhere but down"
She says, "Hey, let me be you" and I fall down screaming
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the crowd

Ruby waits a while before she stays
Never looking back 'til he's miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She's not really tired, she's just overgrown
