Songteksten
Not too long after leaving the womb
Delilah began to wonder why
When she looked in the mirror
And into her eyes
Is this the thing they call I?
Surely this body is not what I am
These hands, this skin, and these eyes
Scared and alone, she looked all around
And for her mama she cried
I am a constant stream of feeling
Made of ideas and desires
Driven by urges that I don't understand
But to you, I'll always just be Delilah
Delilah showed up for her first day of school
She picked out her favorite yellow dress
The popular girls said it don't look too cool
And they left her all alone at recess
Watching the little girls flirt with the boys
Playing games reenacting a war
Her eyes filled with tears, she looked down at her dress
She ripped it, like her heart it felt torn
I am a constant stream of feeling
Made of ideas and desires
Driven by urges that I don't understand
But to you, I'll always just be Delilah
Alone in her dorm room eyes fixed on the screen
Watching it light up with likes
She posted the photo from her first friday night
Said "I'm having the time of my life"
Taking a deep breath she tried to forget
How it felt when they told her what she'd done
She thought that the drinks would bring her out of her shell
Instead her mind and her dress came undone
I am a constant stream of feeling
Made of ideas and desires
Driven by urges that I don't understand
But to you, I'll always just be Delilah
Sam held her hand as he hailed them a cab
They were leaving their second date
She liked his sense of humor and the scruff on his chin
Delilah hoped he might be her soul mate
For most of a year it felt like falling in love
But slowly it started to fade
He told her that the things at first he had loved
Were the things he was starting to hate
I am a constant stream of feeling
Made of ideas and desires
Driven by urges that I don't understand
But to you I'll always just be Delilah
Oh to you, I'll always just be Delilah
Yeah to you, I'll always just be Delilah
