The Governor’s Waltz Lyrics - Phoebe Bridgers

1 I was the belle of the Governor's Ball

2 Hiding in the bathroom like Shelley Duvall

3 You had a nosebleed, you were in my way

4 And you didn't remind me of anything

5 So, let's see how long we can go without touching

6 Why don't you sing me to sleep?

7 I know you'd never actually think about jumping

8 But do it for me

9 Two kids in a trench coat living alone

10 I was too happy to feel at home

11 Dancing ourselves clean late New Year's Eve

12 You deserved better, you wanted me (six, five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year)

13 So let's see how long we can go without talking

14 Watch me pretending to sleep

15 I'm next to you, you're next to nothing

16 You promised that you'd never leave

17 But maybe you'll do it for me

18 Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

19 Now

20 Let's see how far I can run without stopping

21 And she can pretend to be me

22 Since she took my place in my bed on that stage

23 I have not lost any sleep

24 Being myself wasn't easy, do it for me
