That Day In The Town

I wanna be the boss or the queen 
And it was someone else's dream
To rule the boardroom
I just couldn't commit to the doom
Of giving your life to a job
I only thought of all the things that it could rob
You of
And love
Has always held itself in between the lines
And I sing the refrain a thousand and one times
But I still see myself as king
Even though he never gave me a diamond ring
To buy the status that I love
And he is just a tattered glove
On the floor of the car
As I become what we are
In my mind
I left the man behind
And found the serene
The unconditional beyond the scene
That is hitting play in my soul
I just watch as the credits roll
On the movie of my life
And I am nobody's wife
Because I could feel his pulverised tension
And the hatred that was an extension
Of all he never got to be
He would've thrown me into the sea
If he would've had the chance
I only ever wanted to dance
And hold his hand as we'd move
Not fight for a point to prove
Or hold me like I was something he could lose
And I felt his energy
Try to throw me
Up against the wall of the venue
As if it was dinner time and I was on the menu
So I look away when he pours his gaze on me
I want to be free
Not someone's broad
Someone to applaud
All of your faults and flaws
But I am the mountain when the ice thaws
And I come down in streams and waterfalls
Now there's graffiti on the bathroom stalls
