Francine – © 2015 Jenner Fox

Why don’t you ask me how I’m doing when we’re alone
Why don’t you ask me how I’m doing when we’re alone
It’s not the question in specific
Just the fact that you could ask it
To talk on what is wrong until it’s right

We would sing the same songs every night
We would sing the same three songs and be alright
Yeah the songs would stay the same
But the walls on which they hang
Would peculiar like the sound of a name

Francine I ain’t asking you for much
Just your name and when it rains that you look up
I could call you Caroline and pretend that you were mine
But I’m obscene for you Francine
I wanna be seen with you Francine

Was the elephant also standing in your room
When I lay awake in the bunk bed over you
I couldn’t figure what to call him
Four letters seemed too solemn
For something huge and gray I never learned to do

Francine I ain’t asking you for much
Just your name and when it rains that you look up
I could call you Natalie but that’s too close to home you see
Cause I’m obscene for you Francine
I wanna be seen with you Francine

When we’re walking home and your feet begin to slow
In the April cold where my mind in time will go
Three blocks from home I swear I heard you blow
A whisper that got lost in street light snow
Answering

Francine I ain’t asking you for much
Just your name and when it rains that you look up
I could call you Emily but mine you’ll never be
Cause I’m obscene for you Francine
I wanna be seen with you Francine
