CHRISTINA
She covers up her notebook, with her favorite bands
She likes’em in their makeup, she’s their biggest fan
She’s bigger than some tall boys, and toughest of the girls\
Learned to square her shoulders in this mixed up, hunched back world
Christina, I see ya, standing like a statue in the rain
Just waiting, so patient. For love to come and wash it all away
I see her on Mondays. Guess her weekends hard
‘Cause she comes in talkin’ to fast, an tryin’ too hard
I want to tell her keep her head up, “you got so much goin’ on
Yeah when she’s not lookin’, she’s the one the boys are thinking on
Christina, I see ya, staring down a road that’s much to sad
I been there, you don’t dare. Go on, get out on a new one while you can
She smells of momma’s smoking, and dresses like her dad
Dancin’ in her baggies, growing up so fast
Talks a mile a minute, with questions in her eyes
Plays the leave me lone card, all the while she’s asking you inside
Christina, I see ya, standing like a statue in the rain
Just waiting, so patient. For love to come and wash it all away
