Shine Lyrics - The Nixons

She walks into the room, says, "What can I do for you today?" 

Started out hard, now it's just a job gets easier everyday 

When she was seventeen she had so many dreams, my how things change 

Left her one night after inventing a fight, another mouth on the way 

What did you want? When you began? 

How do you think you came to this end? 

Now, you're aching, aching, say, "This pain is mine" 

Wanting, waiting, waiting to shine 

Steps into the room everything goes black, that's all she said she knew 

Every few months somebody gets rough, really nothing new 

She closes her eyes, dreams of a time, dreams a better way 

Now, she only wants a life for the one in her life gets her through the day 

What did you want? When you began? 

How do you think you came to this end? 

Now, you're aching, aching, say, "This pain is mine" 

Wanting, waiting, waiting to shine 

What do you see? Becoming to clear 

Close your eyes, it will all disappear 

Now, your aching, aching it's all in your mind 

Wanting, waiting, waiting to shine 

Know that you're hoping, hoping you'll find 

Only wanting you to shine 

When she was seventeen she had such dreams 

My how things change
