"A Story About A Girl" lyrics - OUR LADY PEACE

Story 'bout a girl
Story 'bout the world

Suddenly, I'm something I'm not
I'm something that you bought
Was it something I said
My friend
Little girl are you tripping on this?
Are you tripping all over it?
You better come up for air
A story about a girl
A story about the world, my

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promised I'll always, always
Be there

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it's just where we live
Finally, you think you're alright
Then it eats you up alive
You better get used to it
A story about a girl
A story about the world

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things
You are

I know you're stuck inside your head
You're low, you better get used to it
I know the feeling has to end
You're strong, it sucks you in again
And you're lost, you can't make any sense
And this world, it tears you limb from limb
And hold on, you're nothing but the best

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things
You are
