letra de dark cafe - jessie monk

she’s working in a dark cafe telling herself it’s okay
she grew up dancing ballet
dreamed she never thought would stay

she told herself it was a temporary fix
said she’d be dancing in the city by 2006
but you know her mama needed her and jason got a job laying bricks

but she leaves sometimes with a white line takes off to the sky towards the sun
dancing high on a ray of light leaving behind everything and everyone
she could stay a while here
breathe in the clear
but she’s scared of what she’ll be without the safety of her fears
so she goes back to her cafe and she spends a few more years with her tears

her car is sitting in the drive
she sees the lights are on inside
she hopes her keys don’t fit the door
that she is forced to go and look for more

he’s washing dishes while she’s screaming at the wheel
tryna exorcise the feelings that she knows deep down are reel
but she goes inside and cooks her family a meal

and she leaves sometimes with a bottle of wine
takes off to the sky towards the sun
dancing high on a ray of light leaving behind everything and everyone
she could stay a while here
breathe in the clear
but she’s scared of what she’ll see without the safety of her tears
so she goes back to her family and she spends a few more years in the cell of her fears
she’s working in a dark cafe but today its not okay
she goes out for a cigarette says “god why haven’t these k!lled me yet”
she looks down on the pavement 50 feet below
tries to block out all the voices that are screaming out no
tries to bargain for her pair of wings so she can just jump off and let go

she wants to leave this time without the wine without the lines
become the sun
she’s up so high she can taste the light
wants to leave behind everything and everyone
she could stay forever here breathe in the clear
but she knows that what she leaves behinds a legacy of fear
so she steps back off the ledge and watches as the gates of heaven disappear

she’s working in a dark cafe telling herself its okay
her kids have grown and moved away
but she goes on day after day
