Paper Bag Songtext

von Fiona Apple

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began it's downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
We're approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today,
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, ?Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,? ? he said
?It's all in your head,? and I said, ?So's everything? ?
But he didn't get it ? I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy

-Hunger hurts, and I want himt so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love
