Ruby always waits a while before she stays
Never looking back till he's miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She's not really tired, she's just overgrown

She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
But at least I'm breathing!
Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
She says, Hey, let me be you
And I'll fall down screaming!
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the ground

Ruby never says what side she's on
She lives in the shade of unfinished songs
She has got a photographic soul
Everyone she meets in a fractured hole

She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
But at least I'm breathing!
Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
She says, Hey, let me be you
And I'll fall down screaming!
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the ground

Ruby likes the sound of people's clothes
No one ever knows when she'll go
She's got reservations with the ghost
She's not looking back
She's just growing old

She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
But at least I'm breathing!
Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
She says, Hey, let me be you
And I'll fall down screaming!
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the ground

Ruby always waits a while before she stays
Never looking back till he's miles away
Keeps her reputation like a stone
She's not really tired, she's just overgrown
