Toe by toe
And step by step
I'm further than
You'll ever get
I can see you now
And I saw you then
It ain't much different
From playing pretend

Piece by piece
And part by part
I've shed all my being
Right to the very start
You can have all this crap
Yeah, just take it all back
I want nothing more
Than a single knapsack

What if I said
That I don't want a green light
What if I told you
That I have enough
What if the wind
Carried me to the distance
What if you heard
I was never your girl

Ghost by ghost
And haunt by haunt
You'll find me in your bedroom
Humming all my saddened songs
I just wanted your heart
To beat just for me
Even crippled, even dimpled
Would you make it
Boom for me
Boom Boom Boom
Boom for me
Boom Boom Boom
Boom for me

What if I said
That I don't want a green light
What if I told you
That I have enough
What if the wind
Carried me to the distance
What if you heard
I was never...
What if I said
That I don't want a green light
What if I told you
That I have enough
What if the wind
Carried me to the distance
What if you heard
I was never your girl

Toe by toe
And step by step
I'm further than
You're ever gonna get
I can see you now
And I saw you then
It ain't much different
From playing pretend
