Girls Like Me

Girls like me aren't hard to find

We grow like roses on the vine

We wear our hearts on our sleeves

You probably know a girl like me

We live alone and in our heads

We eat standing up or in our beds

Guilt and fear merge easily

In the quiet souls of girls like me

And loneliness is like a cold

Common and no cure we're told

We take to bed per chance to dream

In the blue light of the TV screen

Girls like me like summer light

And cold beer on a summer night

And boys who aren't afraid of what they see

Inside the eyes of girls like me

And hopefulness is like a drug

It makes a girl believe in love

And if somehow you love us back

We think there's something wrong with that

Girls like me aren't hard to trust

Your deepest secrets safe with us

And when it's time we set you free

You can always count on girls like me

It's good to know a girl like me

You used to love a girl like me
