Foster the People - Ruby Lyrics

Yeah
Mm

Then there she goes
She's sittin' real nice with her head full of advice from friends
And she walks around
She tries to rearrange but everything goes under her bed
And it's countless
She's got a jar full of change saved up for vacation
And she's watchin'
She's watchin' her sons growin' up just like their mom
And it's hard for her

And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you gotta get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah, she don't know what to do
She's got everything and nothin' to lose

She's got a call from a guy just seein' if she's alright
(Better not panic, better not panic, better not panic)
She's got a face full of tears held back by the strength of five
And she says, "Happiness ain't free
Everybody fights just like me
But I've given up the ability to retreat"

And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you gotta get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah, she don't know what to do
She's got everything and nothin' to lose

Yeah, there's time for us to figure it out
I'm there, so don't be scared
There's time for us to figure it out
Don't be, don't be scared

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
All alone, rest your head (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
On my lap when you're down (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
All alone, rest your head (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
On my lap when you're down (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Ooh (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby), Ruby, don't cry
'Cause I am here (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
And I am here (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
So don't you cry
'Cause it'll be alright
