Hannah

Hannah's friends were watching
when she met him at the end of the bar
Hannah's friends were thinking
that he wouldn't even make it that far
'This is for you,' he said,
her gaze unbroken as she licked her spoon
He put his hand in his pocket,
and pulled out the moon
He gave it to her,
her breathing stumbled and her eyes became wide
And as she swallowed cream,
she could already feel him inside
She'd seen similar before,
a book, a ring, a key, and more
But never as clever and as clean and as pure
And he said,
'You're the one, you're the only one I've been waiting for,'
So she took his eyes and trusted,
and they slipped through the door
Texas girl in New York,
don't call her naive
Though she's seen it before,
she just risks to believe
She still has the faith in her battered ideals and she,
she still holds the courage to scale her fears
Well spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind
Most lose hope when that?s not what we find
I saw her in the morning
and she was crying in the park
She said his girlfriend came home
and screamed through the dark
She said that she called her a hore and then she spat in her face
so Hannah had left in silent disgrace
And then she turned to be she said, ?now what do I do??
and I witnessed her shame, how it was mine too
And now she even calls him from Texas, she gets his machine,
he made her question herself, her worth, her esteem
So, don't say she the one and then forget
don't hand her the moon and then charge interest on debt now
don't give her your lines cause your mask may be flawless
but you're full of shit and your campaign is coreless
And the moon won't do if it's just a snapshot
and hell neither will you if that's all that you got now
neither will you if that's all that you got now
neither will you if that's all that you got now
neither will you if that's all that you got
Texas girl in New York, don't call her naive
Though she's seen it all before, she just risks to believe
Well she still has the faith in her battered ideals and she,
she still has the courage to scale her fears
spontaneous love has crossed everyone's mind,
most lose hope when that?s not what we find...
