Girl With Broken Wing (Nobody Sings Anymore) - Manchester Orchestra

On the porch she will sit, light another cigarette 
And take a sip of anything that makes it right 
She’s outside trying to hide from the fight just inside 
Where her mom and her dad destroy each other

On the phone she will call every boy, yeah one and all 
They will touch her in all the right places 
In her room she will slide down the bed and try to fly 
And she will fall once again, for the feeling

And as he grabs her brown hair 
She is faking that the feeling he gives her is real 
As the floor underneath the bed is broke in two 
She will finish what she starts with “I love you”

So from her head, to her toes 
Nervous hands and a runny nose 
All of this just for one night of feeling 
And in her ears she will hear all the things 
That hide her fears of dying young 
And making plans for the future

And all the marks on her arms 
Symbolize a fractured heart 
And all the boys that were smart left her alone 
So from the roof she will fly 
Fifteen feet down the side of the house 
Where she once was happy

Yes it’s true, she’s aware that she is breaking 
And it’s true, she can’t do anything 
Well in her blue underwear she is thinking how 
In Jesus’ precious name she got here

Well its sad, but it’s true that she is empty 
But for now she will pray for some wings. 
On a black Cadillac she is landing hard 
Yet her parents’ biggest worry is the car
