Lyrics of James by Maggie Rogers
verse
"Too young, too thoughtless," I said to myself
With idealistic visions all perched on the shelf
And I'm still hoping, waiting for you to come home
verse
May your snow capped mountains carry you far
May they stand as protectors wherever you are
May you stay safe and happy all of your days
chorus
Oh, James
Oh, James
verse
Maybe you're in love or hung up on another
And maybe you found a far prettier lover
And maybe you'll paint her a picture like you did for me
verse
You color your world with that Neverland smile
But it goes dark in pieces every once in a while
And on my birthday I told you, "Don't worry, there'll be other days"
chorus
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
bridge
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
verse
I'll always be happy if you choose to call
Or write me a letter sayin' all that you saw
And how things have changed since our days there on Noxontown Pond
verse
No, don't be a stranger now, don't go too far
And though you love places that have lots of stars
Just know in the city, you'll always have a place to stay
chorus
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
chorus
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James

Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James
Oh, James

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
