I'm Allowed

Waited for an answer But I waited for twenty five years They stopped my bleeding But could never stop all these tears I waited for the day when You came out from beneath all that weight I tried to lift it But it seems I got there too Late Just to late Just to late Cause I'm allowed Came to the party But I got my own signals crossed Thought I was welcome But I felt like I should get lost I know that I'm older Cause I feel that everywhere I could talk to no one Cause I knew not one person There No one's there They just stare But they're allowed As vivid as a car wreck Watch them dripping off highway ramps She came to me smiling Her heart underneath both her hands She spoke of a French boy At least two times through the night It could have been the liquor Or the music but that is All right That's all right She's allowed I'm allowed I'm allowed I'm allowed
