I want a girl who wears red lipstick and who listens to The Thermals,
Smokes out in the rainstorms and does sketches in her journals,
Who will lay down on a train track, throw paper from a high-rise,
We'll both drink Heaven Hill at night and stay up 'til the sunlight.
I want a girl with leather combat boots and pretty summer dresses,
Who'll spare a hug when I'm depressed or just when I start stressing,
With big bright eyes to look right through and see I'm still alright,
And an honest smile to remind me this is probably my only shot at life.
And someday I'll find her,
And someday I'll write her
A hundred different letters to describe just how I feel,
And we'll sing our songs together,
And we'll both know in our hearts that this is real.
I want a girl to sing along with when they're songs she doesn't like,
To curl up in a blanket when it's stormy and we're tired,
Who thinks rooftops are better than the movies 'cause we're cheap,
And if we hit, we'll only hit to prove we're not asleep.
And someday I'll find her,
And someday I'll write her
A hundred different letters to describe just how I feel,
And we'll sing our songs together,
And we'll both know in our hearts that this is real.
