Lyrics

It couldn't happen here

Yesterday, remember how clear it seemed
in six-inch heels quoting magazines
Go all the way, you knew you could
So far, so good

Someone asked: Who do you think you are?
Who pays your bills?
How come you came this far?
Shrugged him off and locked the door
So good, this far

Now it almost seems impossible
We've drunk too much and woke up everyone
I may be wrong, I thought we said
it couldn't happen here

I don't expect to talk in terms of sense
our dignity and injured innocence
It contradicts your battle scars
still healed so far

Now it almost seems incredible
We've laughed too loud and woke up everyone
I may be wrong but I thought we said
it couldn't happen here

Now it almost seems impossible
We've found ourselves back where we started from
I may be wrong, I thought we said
it couldn't happen here

From

Actually
