| "dear chicago, you'll never guess.
you know the girl you said i'd meet someday?
well, i've got something to confess ...
she picked me up on friday ...
asked me if she reminded me of you.
i just laughed
and lit a cigarette,
said "that's impossible to do."
my life's gotten simple since ...
and it fluctuates so much: happy ...
and sad
and back again.
i'm not crying now too much."
"cause you can't jump the track ...
we're like cars on a cable ...
and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table ...
no one can find the rewind button, girl ...
so cradle your head in your hands ...
and breathe ...
just breathe."
"i walk into this room ...
oh, all eyes on me now ...
but i do not know the people inside ...
they look straight through me, these eyes ...
seeking more wisdom than i have to give away ...
realize, realize what you are ...."
"every night i read this novel about you ...
holding roses in the pouring rain ...
but the ending's tore up, trying to hail a cab ...
think no one can read you, but i can."
"if i was in a movie i would hold my head up high.
and if i was in a movie i would never be this shy.
i would shout out loud and be so proud of what i have to say.
and if i was in a movie i would never let you get away.
if i was in a movie i would stand the test of time.
 
if i was in a movie i would get away with crime.
i would run so fast and always last the distance of the day.
and if i was in a movie i would never let you get away.
this is not hollywood.
there is no camera in my room.
this is not hollywood.
flowers grow
before they bloom.
well you can hide away when you walk in the dusky light of night.
this is not hollywood.
this is my life.
if i was in a movie i would never be this sad.
if i was in a movie i would have more than i have.
i would show the world i'm just a girl who has so much to say.
and if i was in a movie i would never have let you get away."
