Lyrics
People come around here from all over when they’re worn out
Like to look around, feel at home, ride the storm out
When they disappear
Were they ever really here
Or is it like a picture that was torn out?
Sophia landed here when she was driving from Salinas
Said she played guitar just like the woman in boygenius
Never did look back
She seemed to get off track
Stuck inside a gnawing in-betweenness
CHORUS
When she’s here
Just so hard to find
When she’s gone
Ever on my mind
Sophia says she knows when something’s mostly in her head
Then she whispers softly that she knows just what she said
Where do children go
When there’s no more home
Just a dream in pages that she read
Holding her I listen as she talks throughout the night
Searching for her answers, feeling tired of her life
What’s it all about
Wrapped inside a cloud
Feeling like a bird that cannot fly
CHORUS
I step outside to find her fading shadow by my door
See all the reminders in the colors that she wore
Was she ever here
Sunlight on her tears
Her clothes are lying crumpled on the floor
CHORUS
When she’s here
Just so hard to find
When she’s gone
Ever on my mind
