Phoebe Bridgers The Governor’s Waltz Lyrics
I was the belle of The Governor’s Ball
Hiding in the bathroom like Shelley Duvall
You had a nosebleed, you were in my way
And you didn’t remind me of anything
So, let’s see how long we can go without touching
Why don’t you sing me to sleep?
I know you never actually think about jumping
But do it for me
Two kids in a trenchcoat
Living alone
I was too happy to feel at home
Dancing ourselves clean, late New Year’s Eve
You deserved better, you wanted me
So, let’s see how long we can go without talking
Watch me pretending to sleep
I’m next to you, you’re next to nothing
You promised that you’d never leave
But maybe you’ll do it for me
Now, let’s see how far I can run without stopping
And she can pretend to be me
Since she took my place in my bed on that stage
I have not lost any sleep
Being myself wasn’t easy
Do it for me
