Lyrics
Drugstore Perfume
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She waits of windows
Her dreams don’t show in colocr and she sleeps for now
She just waits around wishing she
Could leave, single mothers
In parking lots and wear another girl’s evening out
This place lets you down easy
She gets up to buy a drink
I’d notice why when she walks by
There’s something caught in her eye, she says
That she can’t change for love
And she explains how long she’s waited for
She wanted more
Dead-leaves, desperate summers
Allages clubs and metal shutters to keep you out
While we hang around factories
‘Til we meet each other
Two discount lives and heavy numbers
To keep you down
If I wait around, maybe she
Might come back to say that I’m
Not sure you know my name, that’s fine
"But take me with you this time", she says
That she can’t change for love
And she explains how long she’s waited for
She wanted more
Gone today
I might just see you around
It hurts, but I understand if you can’t find
Another reason not to stay
And while she’s walking away she says
That she can’t change for love
And she explains how she’s waited for
She wanted more
And as these days go by
Well they can’t change how long we’ve waited for
A love that’s more
A love that’s more
