once & future lover

If I bought you a ribbon
Would you take it from me
Tie it 'round my wrist

As a kind of reminder
I forget to remember
All the things that I need to exist

I remember our first kiss
Don't need a reminder
But I'm the kind of girl who needs to
Leave the past behind her

And someday I'll lean out
The window of your car
And I'll sing to the stars a kind of
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When I'm with you, my soul needs no cover
My once and future lover

In my religion
You led and I followed
Kept my wagon hitched to your star

It's my intuition
My friends and relations
Say I always push it too far

You are a witness
To all my sound and fury
I need your forgiveness
Please tell me another story

I know
I could have been kinder
But I'm the kind of girl who needs to
Leave the past behind her

But someday I'll lean out
The window of your car
And I'll sing to the stars a kind of
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When I'm with you, my soul needs no cover
My once and future lover
