Jess Klein - For the Girls Lyrics

For the Girls

This one's for the girls
Who lounge around like Venus
Knowing how to let the apple fall
Patient like a rose
They are brilliant, they are genius
Wait for some young buck to come and call
Me, I'm never sure
How to hold my cards
That's the thing I long for most of all
This one's for the girls
Who lounge around like Venus
Knowing how to let the apple fall

This one's for the boys
Singing songs so tender
Songs that call from high above the noise
Blowing rings of smoke
That beg you to surrender
Swing and sway and fall without a choice
Me, I'm always scared to look up from the ground
Scared to lose the sound of my own voice
But this one's for the boys
Singing songs so tender
Songs that call from high above the noise

Oh, when I'm finally feeling stronger
Oh, when there ain't no right or wrong
Oh, if it moves me along
It moves me along
It moves me along

This one's for the days
Running with the horses
Free to rise and free to fall
Melt like butter days
When all the other forces
Tremble with their backs against the wall
Days when I am sitting still as any flower
Days when I am standing ten feet tall
This one's for the days
Running with the horses
Free to rise and free to fall

This one's for the days
Naked and unfurled
Music-playing boys, flower laden girls
For the mystic rays of light that fall upon the world
And the ways they fall upon the world
