Oh, Anna!

Empty pockets, swing in your step
Don't know where you got it, but you got the confidence for
Flirting with the boys in a little cotton dress
That was it, innocent
Handmade tickets, putting on a show
That living room couch was always front row
Didn't know where you were going, but then again you kinda did

I miss you, I need you
I left you, didn't mean to

I wish you would come back a little
Come back a little
Run as fast as you can
I wish you would meet me in the middle
Meet me in the middle
Take me by the hand
I feel more like a scared little kid
Than I ever did back then
I need you to come back a little
Come back a little
Make me that girl again
Oh, Anna

You taught me that
When they talk about you, damn, you talk it right back
Now I put on an act with a smile and a laugh
Like I don't care but I do
What happened to knowing who I am?
You were pigtail braids, never worried 'bout the plan
Didn't do it 'cause you had to, you did it 'cause you can
Now I'm just worried about being skinny and getting spray tans

And I miss you, damn I need you
I left you, hope I didn't lose you

I wish you would come back a little
Come back a little
Run as fast as you can
I wish you would meet me in the middle
Meet me in the middle
Take me by the hand
I feel more like a scared little kid than
I ever did back then
I need you to come back a little
Come back a little
Make me that girl again
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna

I didn't even know that your were gone
Till I was drunk on Broadway and they were playing our song
I was staring in the mirror in the dirty bathroom light
And I found you there in my eyes
And it hit me
You'd be dancing
'Stead of crying
Getting everybody on their feet
'Cause girl, you got your dream
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna

I wish you would come back a little
Come back a little
Run as fast as you can
I wish you would meet me in the middle
Meet me in the middle
Take me by the hand
I feel more like a scared little kid than
I ever did back then
I need you to come back a little
Come back a little
Make me that girl again
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
Oh, Anna
