New Girl

from Also Known As Mary

It's a warm and breath-like night
I hold my breath tight
Paralysis and callouses
I only know how to fight
Rooms and rooms of faces
My head tells me
There's no place for me to be
And everything I think
I wish I could erase

Don't care anymore
Who's that knocking on my door
It's the wind come on in
You're exactly what I'm looking for
I've always revolved my world around you know I can't do that
'Cause the wind slaps me in the face
Says "Baby stand still, you've won the race"

I'm a new girl now
It's nice to finally meet me
I'm a new girl now
Never knew how to be me
I'm a new girl now
It's nice to finally meet me
I'm a new girl now

So many times at a stand still
Running wild my intended will
Cut short and distorted
The underlying painting so beautiful
And now the world holds me in an embrace
And I can come face to face
Throw my hands up to my shame

Chorus

The oceans roar
The ebb the flow
Of all this disorder
Floating on my back, smooth sailing

I'm a new girl now
