Ruby always waits a while before she stays 
Never looking back till he's miles away 
Keeps her reputation like a stone 
She's not really tired, she's just overgrown 

She says, Hey, I could be wrong, 
But at least I'm breathing! 
Hey, we could go anywhere but down. 
She says, Hey, let me be you 
And I'll fall down screaming! 
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the ground 

Ruby never says what side she's on 
She lives in the shade of unfinished songs 
She has got a photographic soul 
Everyone she meets in a fractured hole 

She says, Hey, I could be wrong, 
But at least I'm breathing! 
Hey, we could go anywhere but down. 
She says, Hey, let me be you 
And I'll fall down screaming! 
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the ground 

Ruby likes the sound of people's clothes 
No one ever knows when she'll go 
She's got reservations with the ghost 
She's not looking back 
She's just growing old 

She says, Hey, I could be wrong, 
But at least I'm breathing! 
Hey, we could go anywhere but down. 
She says, Hey, let me be you 
And I'll fall down screaming! 
Everything's a miracle when you've got your face in the ground
