Notice Me

 

I know a girl named Harmony
Who left home for a better life
She became the lover of an indie rock star
She said I need you to love me
And leave your wife
He didn't do that
So she drowned his favorite guitar

Notice me
Notice me
Give me my moments of glory
Notice me
Help make my life a happy story

A comic in a cafe
Posts the afternoon away
He is buzzed on retweets sugar and caffeine
If he had more followers he could be
Another Louis C.K. (without all the trouble)
If he built his fan base his brand
And his piss poor self esteem

Here I am
Is it my turn now
I count
I count
Here I am
Is it my turn now
I count

A woman sells chocolate by day
And bartends at night
To put her daughter and son through school
She hides her dreams like a secret
But they survive
She sees her true self
Beyond the zoned out
Lonely schemers on the bar stools

Notice Me
Give me my moments of glory
Notice Me
Help make my life a happy story
