《Can It Really Be Years》歌词

[00:00:16] Living alone in a high little room

[00:00:19] She can see to the street from her window

[00:00:24] She likes it a lot but she just can't imagine it day after day

[00:00:31] She's waiting to open the boxes of books and to put all the clothes where they should go

[00:00:39] The walls may be bare but she still can't decide if she's ready to stay

[00:00:47] She wants to be open and ready for something to knock on her door

[00:00:55] She's paying the rent but that doesn't keep her from hoping for more

[00:01:02] You'd say she'd just come but that's not the case

[00:01:11] Can it really be years since she came to this place

[00:01:23] Going to work on a slow-moving tram

[00:01:26] Everyone needs to work for a living

[00:01:31] She likes sitting here she can plan she can dream and be taken away

[00:01:39] Being a writer is what she might do if she lived in a world more forgiving

[00:01:46] She works on a story she works on a book or it could be a play

[00:01:54] There's someone she knows who knows someone in publishing

[00:01:58] Maybe she could

[00:02:02] She'll call when she's finished the dialogue maybe then maybe he would

[00:02:09] She says she will call but at her own pace

[00:02:17] Can it really be years since she came to this place

[00:02:38] Waiting for signs and she knows there'll be signs

[00:02:41] There'll be omens and so she is waiting

[00:02:45] It may be tomorrow it may be today but it's happening soon

[00:02:53] Out in the sunlight and under the streetlight and inside her room she is waiting

[00:03:01] Watching the shift in the seasons the wax and the wane of the moon

[00:03:09] Watching the text on her mobile he's asking her out for a drink

[00:03:17] She wants to say yes but it's never that easy she needs time to think

[00:03:24] And summer is passed and she still doesn't ring

[00:03:33] Alone in her room can it really be spring
