Inside Girl

Compositor: Johanna Samuels

Will you be alright, Inside Girl
I hate to get a phone call like that
You always are the strong one of the two of us
Telling me to just be cool and rein it in

Oh, I used to sing that song with you
You said you only wanted to write one for her

I never thought that there'd be a world
Where you would be the one to need me
But now to hear you crying, Pretty Pearl
I part my lips and I can't begin

So I hold a little space for you
Don't you be afraid
If the pain's still coming through
Tomorrow

I wish I could unsee for you
What you saw in the park
Wipe every mark off your heart

A lifetime of getting away with it

I apologize sturdy one
For every time you've picked
The seaweed off my back
Would you promise me Inside Girl
That you'd call my name if you needed me?
