lyrics

Smudges on a vase
Vague traces of a touch
Plain Jane wilts softly
She never asks for much

She lives inside a story
She’s writing in her head
Her nervous heart is aching
In a made up world instead

Then she dares herself to laugh
She dares herself to despair
Dares herself to insist
There’s a whisper in the air

A window left wide open
On a warm November night
Sends a breeze to cloak her skin
And make everything alright

Gather your pencils up
Draw wildly like a child
Fall into your sheets
Restless bodies reconciled

But Plain Jane waits
She couldn’t tell you why
When she wants it back she sees
The moment has passed by

I will run across the plane
I will run across the plane
The long grass will scratch my legs
And I will not be plain

I will run across the plane
I’ll run across the plane
The long grass will scratch my legs
And I will not be plain

I will, I will not be plain

She dares herself to laugh
She dares herself to despair
She dares herself to laugh
She dares herself to despair

She dares herself to laugh
She dares herself to despair
Dares herself to insist
There’s a whisper in the air

A window left wide open
On a warm November night
Sends a breeze to cloak her skin
And make everything alright

Smudges on his shirt
A certain sense of worth
Plain Jane she knows it
She’s had a second birth

She’s in a whole new story
She dreamed of long ago
Assertive as she strolls down
The path she longed to know

I will run across the plane
I will run across the plane
The long grass will scratch my legs
And I will not be plain

I will run across the plane
I’ll run across the plane
The long grass will scratch my legs
And I will not be plain
