PENELOPE 

By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder 

 V1 

Lived a life of corners and hard lines 
Hardly moving to  the beat of time 
Telling myself that everyday was fine 
Until I heard of a girl who walks the shore  
Outside the lines 

CH 

And she lives like it's supposed to be 
Beyond this world of tragedy 
Only the tides tell her who she should be 
Dancing with the waves 
Penelope  

V2 

I found that girl and made her mine 
Stopped thinking each day needed some design 
Escaping where corners and lines combine 
Now I live with surf and spray, and breeze blowing on my face 

 CH 

I watch her live like it's supposed to be 
Beyond this world of tragedy 
Only the tides tell her who she should be 
Dancing with the waves of the sea 
Penelope 
 
BR 

And I call to her 
And she calls to me 
Drawn by the moon 
Into the sea 

 CH 

And we live like it's supposed to be 
Beyond this world of tragedy 
Only the tides tell us who we should be 
Dancing with the waves 
It's just me
It's just me
And Penelope
