Someone who’d answer to me

lyraine hates this song. But I love it and had the lyrics on my profile at Journalhound for quite some time. Jonny just reminded me of this song, by sending me the chorus as a response to Boring bore. woohoo. These are the lyrics.

Someone, Sun Yan Zi

My hair was long and shiny
You said you can’t believe
How could I walk out that door, or walk along the streets…
You told me I should, you know, do some bing bang curly wirly afro thing.
I took your word and did.
Looked in my mirror, “who’s that freak?”

Why does the world deceive?
Why do I make believe?
Took my heel and made Achilles out of me…
Still i would want to be
Someone who’d answer to me.

Someone who sees like a child, gives like a saint,
Feels like an angel — never mind the broken wings,
And speaks like a picture, cries like the rain,
Shines like a star, as long as the fire remains.

The vase beside my bed,
It’s empty beside my bed, it’s empty — almost dead.
"It’s for all the flowers I’m gonna give you,” he said,
And now it’s collecting dust instead.

Why does the world deceive?
Why do I make believe?
Took my heel and made Achilles out of me…
Still i would want to be
Someone who’d answer to me:

Sees like a child, gives like a saint,
feels like an angel—never mind the broken wings,
and speaks like a picture, cries like the rain,
Shines like a star, as long as the fire remains.
