Maisie Peters – John Hughes Movie Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This wasn’t how it’s supposed to go
I should be the one you’re dancing with
Spinning with a vodka coke
Everybody at my fingertips
I was gonna get my coat
And baby you were …
[Verse 1]
This wasn’t how it’s supposed to go
I should be the one you’re dancing with
Spinning with a vodka coke
Everybody at my fingertips
I was gonna get my coat
And baby you were …
[Intro: Greg Gonzalez]
We wanna go where the girls are young and dumb
And hot as fuck
Where they’re dancing in the streets
With nothing on
[Verse 1: Goody Grace]
Drivin’ all night, lost track of …
[Verse 1]
One more night, I’ma break down
Two more drinks ’til I pass out, baby
3 AM’s when I need her
Before this lonely, and it drives me crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
Strike a match, blow a …
[Verse 1]
Beat myself until I’m bloody
And I’ll give you a ringside seat
Say that it’s embarrassing
I’m sorry that you had to see me like that
[Verse 2]
So you could either watch me drown
Or try to save …
[Verse 1]
Passed out in the back of a cab
Could you pull over? I think that I’m trapped
Caught underwater, I beat on the glass
Gnawing my arm at the shoulder
Would you help …
[Verse 1]
I always cry on the train back home
Watchin’ the world outside I used to know
As soon as I get there
I have to go
[Verse 2]
And the years go by, I don’t even know where I’ve been
In the blink of an eye, could’ve all been a dream
Will I ever find somewhere
To call my own?
As soon as I get there
I have to go
[Chorus]
We’re two hands meant to shape the land
Just like a river does, just like a river does
And now the day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does, on and on like a river does
[Verse 3]
And the landscape has changed since last I was here
Some people stay and some disappear
But I’ll always remember
This part of me
And I can’t help but wonder
How I ever leave
[Chorus]
We’re two hands meant to shape the land
Just like a river does, just like a river does
Now the day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does, on and on like a river does
[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, woo
[Chorus]
We’re two hands meant to shape the land
Just like a river does, just like a river does
Now the day breaks and I have to go away
Run like a river does, on and on like a river does
[Outro]
So I bottle the sound of the wind in the trees
Follow the salt in the air down to the sea
Just like a river does
Just like a river does
