lyrics

she's a would-be prophet but it's much too late
to be chewing on the bones of a martyred saint
and she'll take your questions if you catch her off guard
so I run to meet her at the gate

she says:
"I miss home but that's alright
'cause that's not what I'm after
everything is so much fun
thank god it doesn't matter

and if I turn to you and my
intentions aren't quite clear
tell me I remind you of someone else
that's the best thing I could hear"

one night I was walking and I saw an old friend
and her face was exactly the same
she smiled politely and she spoke like a stranger
as she asked me how I knew her name

you'll stare at the sun and you'll like the weather
and you'll run far ahead but you won't feel better
you'll think for yourself and you'll let go gladly
and you'll get what you want but you won't be happy

I'm so glad to see you
so damn glad to see you
I'm so glad
