Meryl Rudy - Ginger

I woke up six times in the middle of the night
You fixed me up a nice cold iced drink
You took me by the hand as I ran out saying, "why me?"
We sat outside the stall, jokes and breaking laws
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't die trying to say

Fall off a bridge and I'll jump in
If you run to the edge I will be there to catch your step
But just you wait before you go
And take this ginger for the road

Do you remember being five years old
Scared of growing up and being told what to do, wear, say?
You gotta hold me tight inside the tent under your bed
We'll watch the sunrise
Sat there in your room until the clocks ran out
Counting cards and movies; saw the stars fell down
Talked about the future living under one roof
Then you said, "I wanna run away," and nothing's gonna stop you, babe
You've got me wondering what I've done
Am I a reason for you wanting to leave?

Fall off a bridge and I'll jump in
If you run to the edge I will be there to catch your step
But just you wait before you go
And take this ginger for the road

I only see you drink water what you're hungover
Most of the time it's just ale and wine and leftovers
France is not too far on the map; I found it
Your heart's where you wanna be; don't leave without it
Heart's where you wanna be; don't leave without it

Fall off a bridge and I'll jump in
If you run to the edge I will be there to catch your step
But just you wait before you go
And take this ginger for the road
