you could have been a roosevelt - aimee mann lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
out into the world
with all the confidence and grace that luck instills
each and every girl
with dresses pressed and faces fresh as daffodils

[chorus]
this could be us but those were not the cards that we were dealt
you’re doomed to be a kennedy
when you could have been a roosevelt

[verse 2]
out into the world
you’re sailing into life upon a glassy sea
flags and sails unfurled
what must it be to be so young and whole and free

[chorus]
this could be us but we’re the grave at which our fathers knelt
you’re doomed to be a kennedy
when you could have been a roosevelt

[bridge]
and we’re glad
we can see in them versions of the life that we almost had
[verse 3]
out into the world
where certain things will always be beyond our scope
just to be a girl
with jean nate and pink camay and yardley soap

[chorus]
this could be us but there was just a trust we never felt
it’s hard to be a kennedy
when you could have been a roosevelt
it’s hard to be a kennedy
when you could have been a roosevelt
