Josephine

I heard the name Josephine
It came to me in a dream
And I dont usually set too much store by the things these things might mean
But it was spoken with seriousness
More of a whisper than a scream
So now Im waiting on some Josephine
To show herself to me
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody to wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come now, Josephine, show yourself to me
So come on now, Josephine, give me what I need
I dont like to be needy but needs must
I cant stand being the person that Ive been
Im an impending car crash
And youre the first one on the scene
Im a defeated commander
Im a half-deaf composer
Im a strange name whispered in a dream
I could have been anyone I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody to wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon
Could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
So come now, Josephine, show yourself to me
So come on now, Josephine
Lets pretend its Halloween
You come as a car crash
Ill go as James Dean
Im Napoloeon on Elba
And youre a hundred days in 1815
I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
And youre the only one whos ever going to know what they mean
Come on now, Josephine
Wake me from my sleep
I could have been anyone
But I ended up being me
I could have been wide awake
Could have been what you need
I wish that I was anyone except for just me
So come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
Come on now, Josephine
Show yourself to me
