She's humming a tune

To keep herself from thinking

About all that she's facing

But her mind is racing

Over and over again.

And I don't suppose she knows

Everything that's bound to happen

How and where the story goes

And I don't know why I care

She's up tight, not right

How can it matter to me.

She's humming a tune

To keep herself from straying

When everything's swaying

And decisions are weighing

Ever so hard on her mind.

And I don't suppose she knows

Everything that's bound to happen

How and where the story goes

And I don't know if it just

I'm bummed out, no doubt

What does it matter to me.

She's up tight, not right

How can it matter to me.

And I don't suppose she knows.

She's up tight, not right

How can it matter to me.
