That Girl - Stephanie Kirkham

[00:01.41]Sitting in a long dark dress with coloured tights
[00:06.30]Shuffles his letters by candlelight
[00:10.23]Romance, enchantment, emotional bliss
[00:14.32]She whispers “forget the fairytale myth?
[00:17.21]
[00:18.96]Under a clear sky branches stacked
[00:22.35]Fat cat purrs and tiptoes past
[00:26.64]She draws a circle, strikes a match
[00:30.37]Paper curling, burning, turning to ash
[00:34.50]
[00:35.00]That girl, you know she's dysfunctional
[00:38.67]One step forward and two steps back
[00:42.80]That girl, she's uncommunicative
[00:47.38]Only talks to her black cat
[00:50.19]
[00:51.27]Caught a glimpse of the future, stood on the brink
[00:56.11]She went running to help her think
[00:59.55]Thought the faster she ran the more she'd find
[01:03.87]Tough luck she always fell behind
[01:07.13]
[01:07.86]He dissected her like one of his engines
[01:11.64]Studied the parts but missed the poetry
[01:15.40]Threw incense on the fire, it crackles and glows
[01:19.19]Read the last note where he calls her his rose
[01:23.89]
[01:24.56]That girl, you know she's dysfunctional
[01:28.32]One step forward and two steps back
[01:32.43]That girl, she's uncommunicative
[01:36.86]On the porch with her black cat
[01:39.85]
[01:41.17]She's breaking inside, unfulfilled, unrealised
[01:48.66]Circle on the calender marks the day she died
[01:54.93]
[01:57.39]He wanted to be her connection,
[02:01.79]he wanted to be her reason,
[02:05.80]he wanted to be her roots
[02:09.11]But you know what – she doesn't need them
[02:12.68]
[02:14.13]That girl, you know she's dysfunctional
[02:18.14]One step forward and two steps back
[02:22.06]That girl, she's uncommunicative
[02:26.45]Still talking to her black cat
[02:30.53]That girl, she's unpredictable, oh
[02:38.97]That girl, she ran
[02:42.11]She ran for the love of running, the love of running
[02:48.19]She's dancing round the fire singing
[02:52.27]“If love set's you free, then this couldn't have been love
[02:59.98]It couldn't have been love, it couldn't have been?
[03:07.40]Love sets you free, it set's you free
