lyrics
When I was a little girl, I was a little girl
My mother would help me, hold me
Now there’s nobody in this lonely world
Nobody in this lonely world
Who's gonna help me, hold me
Baby come inside
Can’t you see the sky is turning
It’s gonna rain all night, all night
Sophia dropped me off at school
She’s in high school now, she’s an all-star student
But do they tease you like they tease me?
It ain’t easy being thirteen
Started sleeping just to pass the time
Reading books in the bathroom during lunchtime
Yeah my bookbag was a friend of mine
Baby come indoors
You gotta do your chores before dinner
I know you want to play more and more
Standing smoking cigarettes
We’re the lost generation we just didn't know it yet
Yeah we’re hopeless, hopeless
It’s like the whole world up and changed
Yeah it used to be better, that's what they say
You better show up, fake it
Baby don't you cry
I can see you’re trying to do better
But I don’t know why it’s this way
Is there somebody in this lonely world
Somebody in this lonely world
I want to help you, hold you
I need a body in this lonely world
Somebody in this lonely world
I want to hold you, love you
A poet and a pen
Scratch the page and back again
Won't you let me in, let me in, let me in?

Sometimes, an album comes along that feels fresh and well-work-comfortable at the same time. This is one of those. The music just feels right. The lyrics touch with a deep connection. And with every play, it feels more and more like a pair of broken-in boots and well-worn jeans. audioamore
