No longer a danger
to herself or others
She made up her mind and
laced up her shoes
Yelled down the hall but
nobody answered
So she walked outside
without an excuse
She can do anything
she wants to
She can do whatever
she wants to do
She could go home
but she's not going to
So she picks a direction
it's ninety to Memphis
Turns up the music
so thoughts don't intrude
Predictably winds up
thinking of Elvis
And wonders if he believed
songs could come true
I'm asking for it
if they do
Doesn't know what she wants
or what she's gonna do
A rebel without a clue
So we spent what was left
of our serotonin
To chew on our cheeks and
stare at the moon
Said she knows
she lived through it
to get to this moment
Ate a sleeve of saltines
on my floor and I knew then
I will do anything
you want me to
I will do anything
for you
I will do anything
I will do anything
Whatever you want me
to do I will do
Whatever she wants
Whatever she wants
Whatever she wants
Whatever she wants
I will do anything
I will do anything
Whatever she wants
Whatever she wants
