Practice Electra Lyrics - Megan Slankard

He said, "practice Electra 

You might need me someday 

Though the wind blows your hair, tugs you around 

I know you won't blow away" 

Yes, my name is Electra 

And I'm a talk-aholic 

But I get kinda quiet on days when I'm feeling 

Especially sad or melancholic 

He said, "practice laughing at my jokes 

They don't all make you cringe 

Practice crying when I leave you 

It'll give me something to drown in" 

He said, "c'mon an' smile at me 

Don't treat me like an invader 

Practice, Electra 

You might need me later 

Yes, my name is Electra 

And I check my e-mail every fifteen minutes 

But I never go to rambunctious parties 

'Cause I have my limits 

He said, "practice, Electra 

You might need me later 

You've tried to say goodbye, goodbye 

But you just say see ya later alligator" 

He said, "practice smiling when I love you 

It doesn't seem right when you're smirking 

Practice asking for reasons 

When you feel this ain't working 

Oh c'mon Electra, don't treat me like an invader 

C'mon and smile at me, don't treat me like that invader 

Yes, my name is Electra, and who knows, I might need you later
