jacki thrapp commerce city (from "lighthouse: an immersive drinking musical") şarkı sözleri
Back in Commerce City
I was too scared to come out
Just a different girl
That every classmate loved to laugh about
But then they all got pregnant.
Now they're grandmas at 35
So I'm the person laughing now
I'm here and queer and thriving
In this wonderful city that I dreamed I'd be a part of
Where queer girls straight from Commerce catch a break
I'm the one who got out
So then why do i doubt
Every feeling, every move I ever make?
Back in Commerce City
Every party, every dance (hoo, pa!)
I was always in the corner watching everyone romance
But I'd clutch my lonely Guinness
And say one day that'd be me
Smooching someone hot and smart and sweet
Who makes me proud to be
In this wonderful city
That I dreamed I'd be a part of
Where every lonely Guinness meets another by their side
I'm where I'm meant to be
So then why when i see her
Do I feel like I need to run and hide?
Hey kids from Texas, Kansas too
In New York there's a place for you
Every weirdo, every freak come through
But hey kids from everywhere you'll see
Just coming to New York won't mean
You're free from every insecurity
That plagued you back home
In Commerce City
I'm in this big perfect city
That I dreamed I'd be a part of
Where queer girls straight from Commerce catch a break
I'm the one who got out
So then why do I doubt
When I see her, there's way too much at stake?
No!
I'm here and I'm out
No more fear no more doubt
I've got one shot and it's one I'm gonna take
