21st Century Girl Lyrics[Verse 1]
Can you see me eternally smiling?
Making the most of everything given to me
Can you see me bearin' my flesh?
Nothing to protect I'm popping the cork for this love
Can I meet you not in the real world?
I just want feelings, feelings I don't have to hide
Can I sit and read this cheap novel?
Spray on my perfume, drink 'til I say what I want
[Pre-Chorus]
Savin' myself, I'm savin' myself
Savin' myself, I'm savin' myself
Savin' myself, I'm savin' myself
I'm savin' myself
[Chorus]
And I feel like something good is gonna come along
'Cause I know I would've died for you and that was wrong
You say the time was right but now the moments gone
By the way, I don't belong to you and that's okay
Suddenly, I'm a 21st century girl
[Verse 2]
I found a place for solidarity but I miss you next to me
The powers of proximity
My voice is louder than yours for the first time
I mean it when I say it, let's stand each other up at the altar
[Pre-Chorus]
Savin' myself, I'm savin' myself
Savin' myself, I'm savin' myself
Savin' myself, I'm savin' myself
I'm savin' myself
[Chorus]
And I feel like something good is gonna come along
'Cause I know I would've died for you and that was wrong
You say the time was right but now the moments gone
By the way, I don't belong to you and that's okay
Suddenly, I'm a 21st century girl
[Bridge]
I don't need your burden[?]
Baby no, I'll just take your body
I don't need your safety
Baby no, I'll just take you home
[Chorus]
And I feel like something good is gonna come along
'Cause I know I would've died for you and that was wrong
You say the time was right but now the moments gone
By the way, I don't belong to you and that's okay
'Cause suddenly, I'm a 21st century girl
