Josephine

I heard the name Josephine It came to me in dream And I don't usually set too much store by the things that these things might mean It was spoken with seriousness More of a whisper than a scream Now, I'm waiting on this Josephine To show herself to me Could have been anyone I imagined, I could be I just needed somebody To show me how to be I could have been Napoleon Could have been Beethoven Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me So come on now Josephine, show yourself to me So come on now Josephine give me what I need I don't like to be needy but sometimes needs Must, I can't stand being the person that I've been I'm an impending car crash I'm the first one on the scene I'm a defeated commander I'm a tone-deaf composer I'm a strange name whispered in a dream Could have been anyone I imagined, I could be I just needed somebody To show me how to be I could have been Napoleon Could have been Beethoven Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me So come on now Josephine, show yourself to me So come on now Josephine Let's pretend it's Halloween You come as a car crash And I'll go as James Dean I'm Napoloeon on Elba And you're a hundred days in 1815 I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved You're the only one who's ever gonna know what they mean Come on now Josephine Show yourself to me Could have been anyone But I ended up being me Could have been runaway Could have been what you need I wish that I was anyone except for just me So come on now Josephine Show yourself to me Come on now Josephine Show yourself to me Come on now Josephine Show yourself to me Come on now Josephine Show yourself to me
