Ruby always waits a while before she stays
   Never looking back till he’s miles away
   Keeps her reputation like a stone
   She’s not really tired, she’s just overgrown
  
   She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
   But at least I'm breathing!
   Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
   She says, Hey, let me be you
   And I’ll fall down screaming!
   Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground
  
   Ruby never says what side she’s on
   She lives in the shade of unfinished songs
   She has got a photographic soul
   Everyone she meets in a fractured hole
  
   She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
   But at least I'm breathing!
   Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
   She says, Hey, let me be you
   And I’ll fall down screaming!
   Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground
  
   Ruby likes the sound of people’s clothes
   No one ever knows when she’ll go
   She’s got reservations with the ghost
   She’s not looking back
   She’s just growing old
  
   She says, Hey, I could be wrong,
   But at least I'm breathing!
   Hey, we could go anywhere but down.
   She says, Hey, let me be you
   And I’ll fall down screaming!
   Everything’s a miracle when you’ve got your face in the ground
