Paper Bag Tab

She don't run from the sun no more
                     
She boxed her shadow and she won
           
Said I can see you laugh
                
Through these bottle caps
          
And this wire around my neck aint 
           
There for fun

     
But someday we'll all be old
             
And I'll be so damn beautiful

                          
Meanwhile I hide my head
                        
Here in this paper...bag
                     
Cause if I cant see you
                      
Then you can't see me
               
And it'll be okay
                   
Fly little bee....away
                         
To where theres no more rain
               
And I can be me

Yeah they talk about her
She smiles like shes so tough
She says
"hey can you talk a little louder,
I don't think my heart 
is broken enough"

But someday we'll all be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful

                    
Meanwhile I hide my head
                         
Here in this paper...bag
                    
Cause if I cant see you
                  
Then you can't see me
               
And it'll be okay
                 
Fly little bee....away
                         
To where theres no more rain
             
And I can be me

            
Some days I wait in the indigo
 
Singing that song on the radio
                             
I blame these puddles on the rain
 
You know I gotta keep these cheeks dry today
 
Gotta keep my cheating strategy
                           
And baby I'm gonna have it made.

     
But someday we'll all be old
