The One to Run with Me

If everyone's a universe
I guess I'm not alone
I'm just another wanderer
trying to find home
made up of stars and of scars
all that define something
got my hair down, a broken crown
I wouldn't give a king

It's just as well cause this Jezebel
was born wild and born free
daisies in my hair, sweet in the air
I know what I chose is a lonely road
a love affair of earth & sea

There was this one, he caught my eye
and then I caught his mouth
we went on for days in different ways
stopping to smoke joints
on his front porch talking music
I knew we couldn't burn on like this

& it's just as well cause this Jezebel
was born wild and born free
daisies in my hair, sweet in the air
I know what I chose is a lonely road
a love affair of earth & sea

If everyone's a universe
& everyone's got a different course
I think what's really something
are the things that make you alter yours
like wanting someone so much
everything else just seems grey
knowing it's a messy masterpiece
I'll probably end up giving away
because that's the way I am
and I don't ever stay

what if I've thought about this all wrong?
& I'm reconsidering
if it's not about leaving someone
but finding the one to run with me

Then it's just as well cause this Jezebel
was born wild and born free
daisies in my hair, sweet in the air
I know what I chose is a lonely road
a love affair of earth & sea
but if I'm open and lucky
maybe
I'll find the one to run with me.
