Ruby always waits a while before she stays   Never looking back till he’s miles away   Keeps her reputation like a stone   She’s not really tired, she’s just overgrown      She says, Hey, I could be wrong,   But at least I'm breathing!   Hey, we could go anywhere but down.   She says, Hey, let me be you   And I’ll fall down screaming!   Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground      Ruby never says what side she’s on   She lives in the shade of unfinished songs   She has got a photographic soul   Everyone she meets in a fractured hole      She says, Hey, I could be wrong,   But at least I'm breathing!   Hey, we could go anywhere but down.   She says, Hey, let me be you   And I’ll fall down screaming!   Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground      Ruby likes the sound of people’s clothes   No one ever knows when she’ll go   She’s got reservations with the ghost   She’s not looking back   She’s just growing old      She says, Hey, I could be wrong,   But at least I'm breathing!   Hey, we could go anywhere but down.   She says, Hey, let me be you   And I’ll fall down screaming!   Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground      Ruby always waits a while before she stays   Never looking back till he’s miles away   Keeps her reputation like a stone   She’s not really tired, she’s just overgrown
