"be the girl!" lyrics

I'm sure I held it off 'til last December
And why I did so, I cannot remember
I don't have a lover, no, I've never had someone like that before
And I don't have another tear to offer to the East Pacific shore
I'm not so lonely when I dance in my room
Still, little thoughts slip in when I think of you
But I don't have another tear to offer to the East Pacific shore
And I don't have a lover, why would I, when I have never loved before?

There's a time and a place
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't
Be the girl I used to know
Even though I thought I could

(Eat the apple, stupid girl)
(I could never be the girl)

Now past the age when we were young, wild, and free
Not getting caught up in what should and shouldn't be
Lightning to your thunder, wringing up a storm whenever we walked by
One hand in the other, making our way to our own paradise
And even after all that I've been put through
Deep down, I sincerely wish the best for you, whoa
One hand in the other, we were running from the worries in your eyes
And lightning to your thunder, pierced the heart, but then you left me high and dry

(Well) There's a time and a place
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't
Be the girl I used to know
Even though I thought I could
There's a space
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't
Be the girl I used to know
Even though I thought I could

(Be the girl)
(Eat the apple, stupid girl)
(Be the girl, be the girl)
(I could never, I could never be the girl)
(Be the girl)
(Be the girl)
Everyone
One, two, one, two, three

There's a time and a place
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't
Be the girl I used to know
Even though I thought I could
(There's a time) There's a space (There's a space)
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't
Be the girl I used to know
There's a time and a place
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't
Be the girl I used to know
Even though I thought I could

There's a place
That I thought I knew, but now I know I can't (No, I don't)
(No, no) Be the girl I used to know
(No)
There's a time and a place
There's a time and a place
And now I can't be the girl
