Polly Jean
We've never been where we're going
We're always here in between
The shadows and flare fluttering
In between
Like sunshine trickling through the leaves
I want to feel something real
Like rivers overflowing
I want to be set free
Now everything is polythene
A world in which nothing's real
I don't know where we're going
Now won't you come find me?
Though I try, and I try, and I try and I try
Can never shake off this feeling
Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, why we hide (we) from you (hide)
Polly Jean, like sad mascara
We're running, swipe your tears
Never seen, I wanna find you
Seventeen, where've you been?
The city lights that never sleep (whispers)
They talk to me in my dreams
Like wires crossing over (closer)
They're telling me something
Now everything is bittersweet (taste it)
Like lemons and tangerines
I don't know how to tell you
The feelings inside me
Though I try, and I try, and I try and I try
I never find any answer
Don't know why, don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, what's inside out, not outside
I'll need you to notice me (send out a sign)
To let me know that you need me too (and intertwine)
Like tips of branches that overlap (they touch and sway)
If we're together, we'll weather this weather away
Polly Jean
We've never been where we're going
We're always here in between
The shadows and flare, seventeen
