lyrics

She owns a porch swing on the very first floor
She's got plans for jumping, if it's a hot door
She'll just list to the right where the rose bushes are
It'll hurt, but she's used to being sore

'Cause whether the sky is orange tonight
Or whether it's blue or it's black she'll be fine
So she closes her eyes and plans for the fire
That she'll vanquish by leaving behind

And the Vanderbilt's mansion is just minutes away
She can walk there tonight, she'll climb over the gate
She can take off her nightgown, she can swim in the lake
Like a poet would do at the close of a day

'Cause whether the sky is orange tonight
Or whether it's blue or it's black she'll be fine
So she closes her eyes and plans for the fire
That she'll vanquish by leaving behind

If living don't ever mean leaving she'll stay
It might never get hot, not get set alight
If living don't ever mean leaving she'll stay
But she listens, she worries, she follows advice

She owns a picture book that she keeps on the sill
She'll take it with her, it's the only book she will
'Cause choosing ain't easy, and landing can kill
She's no plans to leave, so she's staying until

'Cause whether the sky is orange tonight
Or whether it's blue or it's black she'll be fine
'Cause whether the sky is orange tonight
Oh tonight, she'll be fine
