The Girl On Her Way

The curtain's down, she loves this town
they come back and tell her it's a given
when the glow is gone she stumbles on
the poisoned question
tastes it and burns to understand
how and when around the corner
became a stormy nautical mile

How long can she be the girl on her way
before she's just the woman who never got there
how far can she ride the dream of someday
before her ticket is only good for the nightmare
of seeing everything that almost came
every spark that never made a flame
are they saying what a star or what a shame
how long can she be the girl on her way
how long can she be the girl on her way

The nightly call, the voice of all reason
reminds her it's a good life
forgiven here for drama crimes
she breaks down a little
the tilt, here we go and upside-down
what if luck and rhyme and rhythm
aren't what make the stars align
or there's some flaw in the design

How long can she be the girl on her way
before she's just the woman who never got there
how far can she ride the dream of someday
before her ticket is only good for the nightmare
of seeing everything that almost came
every spark that never made a flame
are they saying what a star or what a shame
how long can she be the girl on her way
how long can she be the girl on her way
