James Lyrics - Maggie Rogers

1 "Too young, too thoughtless," I said to myself

2 With realistic visions all perched on the shelf

3 'Cause I'm still hoping, waiting for you to come home

4 May your snow capped mountains carry you far

5 May they stand as protectors wherever you are

6 May you stay safe and happy all of your days

7 Oh James

8 Oh James

9 Maybe you're in love or hung up on another

10 Maybe you found a far prettier lover

11 Maybe you'll paint her a picture like you did for me

12 You color your world with that Neverland smile

13 But it goes dark in pieces every once in a while

14 And on my birthday I told you, "Don't worry, there'll be other days"

15 Oh James

16 Oh James

17 I'll always be happy if you choose to call

18 Or write me a letter saying all that you saw and

19 How things have changed since our days there on Noxontown Pond

20 No don't be a stranger, no don't go too far

21 And though you love places that have lots of stars

22 Just know in the city, you'll always have a place to stay

23 Oh James

24 Oh James
