Josephine Lyrics - Positive Songs For Negative People - Frank Turner

I heard the name Josephine 

It came to me in dream 

And I don't usually set too much store by the things these things might mean 

It was spoken with seriousness 

More of a whisper than a scream 

So now, I'm waiting on some Josephine 

To show herself to me 

I could have been anyone 

I imagined I could be 

I just needed somebody 

To show me how to be 

I could have been Napoleon 

Could have been Beethoven 

Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me 

So come now Josephine, show yourself to me

So come on now Josephine, give me what I need 

I don't like to be needy but needs must 

I can't stand being the person that I've been 

I'm an impending car crash 

I'm the first one on the scene 

I'm a defeated commander 

I'm a tone-deaf composer 

I'm a strange name whispered in a dream 

I could have been anyone 

I imagined I could be 

I just needed somebody 

To show me how to be 

I could have been Napoleon 

Could have been Beethoven 

Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me 

So come now Josephine, show yourself to me

So come on now Josephine 

Let's pretend it's Halloween 

You come as a car crash 

I'll go as James Dean 

I'm Napoloeon on Elba 

And you're a hundred days in 1815 

I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved 

And you're the only one who's ever gonna know what they mean 

Come on now Josephine 

Wake me from my sleep 

Could have been anyone 

I ended up being me 

I could have been wide awake 

Could have been what you need 

I wish that I was anyone except for just me 

So come on now Josephine 

Show yourself to me 

Come on now Josephine 

Show yourself to me 

Come on now Josephine 

Show yourself to me 

Come on now Josephine 

Show yourself to me
