Nowhere Near A Saint Lyrics
She saw your face across the street
She turned away
‘Cause you’re not something she needs
She’s independent
She’s weak at times
You won’t stop her
You can’t change her mind
She’s got her eyes closed
while you’re outside
She whispers softly
“only children cry”
Along the way home
She stops into the diner
You won’t say you loved her
And she won’t say goodbye
She’s not what the world sees
She’s never been a saint
She’s been hiding in her trench coat
She’s covered scars with paint
Whatever lives inside her is trying to break free
She’s done watching clouds pass by a window
She’s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows
Yeah
You think it’s only about yourself
You forget about her
And what falls from her mouth
You don’t believe me
But I know she wishes
You were by her side
Oh but love changes time
She’s not what the world sees
She’s nowhere near a saint
She’s hides within her trench coat
She’s covers scars with paint
Whatever lives inside her is trying to break free
She’s done watching clouds pass by a window
She’s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows
It’s alright to be beautiful be free
It’s alright she still loves you she still loves you
She saw your face
Across the street
She turned away
And then fell upon her knees
She’s been ripped open a million times
You’ve got to save her
Got to call her mine
She’s not what the world sees
She’s never been a saint
She’s been hiding in her trench coat
She’s covered scars with paint
Whatever was inside of her is trying to break free
She’s done watching clouds pass by a window
She’s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows
She turned away
‘Cause you’re not something she needs
She’s independent
She’s weak at times
You won’t stop her
You can’t change her mind
while you’re outside
She whispers softly
“only children cry”
Along the way home
She stops into the diner
And she won’t say goodbye
She’s never been a saint
She’s been hiding in her trench coat
She’s covered scars with paint
She’s done watching clouds pass by a window
She’s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows
Yeah
You forget about her
And what falls from her mouth
You don’t believe me
But I know she wishes
You were by her side
Oh but love changes time
She’s nowhere near a saint
She’s hides within her trench coat
She’s covers scars with paint
She’s done watching clouds pass by a window
She’s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows
It’s alright she still loves you she still loves you
Across the street
She turned away
And then fell upon her knees
She’s been ripped open a million times
You’ve got to save her
Got to call her mine
She’s never been a saint
She’s been hiding in her trench coat
She’s covered scars with paint
She’s done watching clouds pass by a window
She’s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows

Casey Frazier is a real poet. I haven't heard honest lyrics like his in ages. I even bought his album off iTunes. I've had iTunes for 2 years and this is the first time I've actually bought something.
This song is wonderful. :') But I can't quite figure out what it's about...
The song explains itself pretty much..

"She saw your face across the street She turned away �Cause you�re not something she needs She�s independent She�s weak at times You won�t stop her You can�t change her mind"
"She saw your face across the street She turned away �Cause you�re not something she needs She�s independent She�s weak at times You won�t stop her You can�t change her mind"
This verse of the song, The girl sees the guy she is in love with and turns away because she doesn't need him, shes independent but weak at time's but just because shes weak doesn't mean this guy is going to stop her from being independent or changing her mind in the decision she has made.

"She�s got her eyes closed while you�re outside She whispers softly �only children cry� Along the way home She stops into the diner"
So she wont cry, she reminds herself "only children cry" as she closes her eyes.
"You won�t say you loved her And she won�t say goodbye"
Both the girl and the boy are being stubborn.
She�s not what the world sees She�s never been a saint She�s been hiding in her trench coat She�s covered scars with paint
There's more to the girl than just what people see on the outside, "she's never been a saint" she's not perfect, "She's been hiding in her trench coat" she hides who she really is, and covers her scars, or things of the past with paint. Umm like a mask, I guess you could say?
Whatever lives inside her is trying to break free She�s done watching clouds pass by a window She�s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows Yeah
She's trying to be herself, but she done waiting for this guy, and done watching clouds and feeling helpless when hes not around.
You think it�s only about yourself You forget about her And what falls from her mouth You don�t believe me But I know she wishes You were by her side Oh but love changes time
All the guy thinks about is himself and he forgets about her, and how beautiful the words that come out of her mouth are. She's still wishing he was with her, but love changes with time.
It�s alright to be beautiful be free It�s alright she still loves you she still loves you
She saw your face Across the street She turned away And then fell upon her knees She�s been ripped open a million times You�ve got to save her Got to call her mine
He has to save her and love her, at this time shes breaking, knowing she needs him.
Whatever was inside of her is trying to break free She�s done watching clouds pass by a window She�s done feeling hopeless when the wind blows
but she still is tired of waiting..
