Marianne

I fell in love again

What’s wrong with me

Thought that this year, I’d learn to let things be

Like a fool, I still believe

That love can set me free

So come on, jump in

Let me tell you who I’ll be and who I’ve been

But like a fool, I still think I can win

At this game we play of hope, and wits, and skin

So Marianne, I’m standing on the sidelines

In my tattered shoes that I salvaged secondhand

I’ve searched the stars for

Hints and tips and guidelines

But I might as well be where I first began

I’d trade my crown

Just to know if I could make this life make sense somehow

Like a fool, I stick around

I cannot get enough of the sound

So Marianne, I’m crooning from the corner

With these cowboy chords that I taught myself to play

I’m told this life is wild and weird and winding

But I know that you will hear my song someday
