Margaret Glaspy - I Thought She Was A Song Lyrics

Margaret Glaspy Lyrics

"I Thought She Was A Song"

We were in high school and she was sitting in the sink
Doing her eyeliner too close to see what she was really doing
She looked at me and said, "I like a thick black line that I can't ruin
Even if I try."

I was looking on
Wishing I was that strong
Some thought she was a hellion
But no, she was a song
I thought she was a song

I thought she was a song
Sung by a choir of one million strong
With voices like fire that can do no wrong
I thought she was a song

I remember it was a Wednesday and we were in chemistry
Bored to tears and wishing we were free to do anything other than what we were doing
She looked at me and said, "Let's go and get ruined."
But I couldn't, even if I tried

I was looking on
Wishing I was that strong
Some thought she was a hellion
But I thought she was a song

I thought she was a song
Sung by a choir of one million strong
With voices like fire that can do no wrong
I thought she was a song
I thought she was a song
Sung by a choir of one million strong
With voices like fire that can do no wrong
I thought she was a song
