Lyrics Ruby Foster The People

Ruby

And there she goes
she was sitting really nice
with a head full of advice from friends

she walks around
she tries to rearrange
but everything goes under her bed

and it's countless
she's got a jar full of change
saved up for vacation

and she's watching
she's watching her sons growing up
just like their mom
and it's hard

but I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
you gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
and I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you gotta get out of bed, out of bed, out of bed

yeah she doesn't know what to do
she's got everything and nothing to lose

she got a call from a guy
just seeing if she's alright
yeah she's got a face full of tears
held back by the strength of five

and she says happiness ain't free
everybody fights just like me
but I've given up the ability to retreat

I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
you gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
and I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you gotta get out of bed, out of bed, out of bed

yeah she doesn't know what to do
she's got everything but nothing to lose

yeah you got time to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared
you've got time to figure it out
I'm here and I am here

yeah you got time to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared
you got time to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared

I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

all alone
rest your head
on my lap
when you're down
all alone
rest your head
on my lap
on my lap
Ruby don't go
