I'm Allowed

Waited for an answer

But I waited for twenty five years

They stopped my bleeding

But could never stop all these tears

I waited for the day when

You came out from beneath all that weight

I tried to lift it

But it seems I got there too

Late

Just to late

Just to late

Cause I'm allowed

Came to the party

But I got my own signals crossed

Thought I was welcome

But I felt like I should get lost

I know that I'm older

Cause I feel that everywhere

I could talk to no one

Cause I knew not one person

There

No one's there

They just stare

But they're allowed

As vivid as a car wreck

Watch them dripping off highway ramps

She came to me smiling

Her heart underneath both her hands

She spoke of a French boy

At least two times through the night

It could have been the liquor

Or the music but that is

All right

That's all right

She's allowed

I'm allowed

I'm allowed

I'm allowed
