Princess

Matt Nathanson

oh princess

you make the party

with your hands

in your pockets

and your innocent eyes

and all those things

running around in your head



oh princess you make the party

you've been everybody's darling now

everybody's win

bold for the boys who

keep you guessing

and all those things

running around...



and "all my pauses they're all stops anyway"

you would say...

and 'all pauses they're all stops anyway

and i could really use a win'



oh princess

you act like the answer

with your hands

all over me

promising to be here



when the world comes down

with all those things

running around...



and "all my pauses they're all stops anyway"

you would say...

and "oh, i could really use the win..

i could really use the win"



i don't mind, baby

just spill your secrets on me...

i don't mind, baby...

just spill your secrets on me...

i don't mind, baby



oh princess.

you're ready for greatness

all edited and weightless

never more alive

and oh dear

how they'll whisper your name

in time
