Well she's kind o f like an artist
Sittin' on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul

And she's kind o f like a movie
Everyone rushes t o see
And no one understands i t
Sittin' in their seats

Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day o f the week
People look right through her
Baby doll, check your cheek

And she's kind o f like a poet
Who finds i t hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet

She opens her mouth t o speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' t o be

I've been achin' for a while now, friend
I've been achin' hard for years

Well she's kind o f like an artist
Who uses paints no more
You never show me what you're doing
Never show a soul

Well, I saw one o f your pictures
There was nothin' that I could see
I f no one's on your canvas
Well, I'm achin' t o be

She closes her mouth t o speak and
Closes her eyes t o see
Thought about an' only loved
She's achin' t o be
Just like me

-- Writer: PAUL WESTERBERG
From The Replacements' 1989 album Don't Tell a Soul
The soundtrack t o my sophomore year in college. Highly reccommended.

 One simple song and I am instantly 19 years old again.

 I appreciate that you included the meaningfulness, of the lyrics, to you. So many just post lyrics without explaining why.
