Achin' To Be Lyrics - Bastards Of Young: The Best Of The Replacements - Replacements

Well she's kind of like an artist 

Sittin' on the floor 

Never finishes, she abandons 

Never shows a soul 

And she's kind of like a movie 

Everyone rushes to see 

And no one understands it 

Sittin' in their seats 

She opens her mouth to speak and 

What comes out's a mystery 

Thought about, not understood 

She's achin' to be 

Well she dances alone in nightclubs 

Every other day of the week 

People look right through her 

Baby doll, check your cheek

And she's kind of like a poet 

Who finds it hard to speak 

Poems come so slowly 

Like the colors down a sheet 

She opens her mouth to speak and 

What comes out's a mystery 

Thought about, not understood 

She's achin' to be 

I've been achin' for a while now, friend 

I've been achin' hard for years 

Well she's kind of like an artist 

Who uses paints no more 

You never show me what you're doing 

Never show a soul 

Well, I saw one of your pictures 

There was nothin' that I could see 

If no one's on your canvas 

Well, I'm achin' to be 

Photos 

She closes her mouth to speak and 

Closes her eyes to see 

Thought about an' only loved 

She's achin' to be 

Just like me
