She Just Wants To Be — REM

It's not that she walked away, Her world got smaller All the usual places, The same destinations, Only something's changed It's not that she wasn't rewarded With pomegranate afternoons And mingus, chet baker and chess It's not the stampeding fortune, Of prim affectations She's off on her own But she knows

Now is greater than The whole of the past Is greater, and Now she knows

She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be

It's not that the transparency Of her earlier incarnations Now looked back on, Weren't rich And loaded with Beautiful vulnerability And now she knows

Now is greater And she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be

Now is greater, now is greater And she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be She just wants to be somewhere She just wants to be

It's not like if angels Could truly look down Stir up the trappings And light on the ground Remind us of what, When, why or who That how's up to us, Me and you And now is greater than The whole of the past

Is greater, and Now she knows that Now she knows
