Color Theory – Ponytail Girl lyrics

At 2 P. M.
She eats a late lunch by design
So that she'll have
Some self-control at dinnertime
Not much at all
Gets done on friday afternoon
So who would mind
If she should leave a little soon
The welcome breath at open air
The daily driving regimen
Talk radio to fill her head
Until the exit's missed again

At 4 P. M.
Her second shower of the day
She shuts her eyes
And lets the workweek wash away
Repaints her toes and fingernails
Sprays on three dollars of perfume
Brushes her teeth
And tries on clothes
Until they clutter up the room

At 6 P. M.
She shows up at her friends house late
We have to eat
Before the concert starts at eight
She says hello to our mutual friends
Hugs me a little bit too tight
They told me she came just for me
And now I see that they were right

(Reprise)
It does nothing for me
It does nothing for me
But make me sad
That you did all this

You had to know, had to know that I never saw you
As a star, as a star in my life's fairytale
Did you think, did you think that you'd really change
That at all
By putting your hair in a ponytail?

You had to know, had to know that I never saw you
As a star, as a star in my life's fairytale
Did you think, did you think that you'd really change
That at all
By putting your hair in a ponytail?

Does nothing
