Josephine
FrankTurner Lyrics

I heard the name Josephine
Frank Turner had a dream where he heard the name Josephine

It came to me in dream
The name Josephine came to Frank Turner in a dream

And I don't usually set too much store by the things that these things might mean
Frank Turner does not typically assign a lot of importance to dream interpretations

It was spoken with seriousness
The name Josephine was spoken to Frank Turner with a sincere tone

More of a whisper than a scream
The name Josephine was spoken to Frank Turner in a soft voice

Now, I'm waiting on this Josephine
Frank Turner is waiting for Josephine to reveal herself

Could have been anyone
Frank Turner imagines himself as someone else other than who he is

I imagined, I could be
Frank Turner had an imagination about being someone else

I just needed somebody
Frank Turner needed someone to show him how to be himself

To show me how to be
Frank Turner had yet to learn how to be himself

I could have been Napoleon
Frank Turner imagined himself as Napoleon

Could have been Beethoven
Frank Turner imagined himself as Beethoven

Could have been anyone, but uncomfortable me
Frank Turner is uncomfortable with being himself

So come on now Josephine, show yourself to me
Frank Turner wants Josephine to reveal herself so that she can help him find himself

So come on now Josephine give me what I need
Frank Turner wants Josephine to give him what he needs to be comfortable with himself

I don't like to be needy but sometimes needs
Frank Turner usually does not like to ask for help, but sometimes he has to

Must, I can't stand being the person that I've been
Frank Turner is unhappy with who he has been

I'm an impending car crash
Frank Turner feels like a disaster is waiting to happen in his life

I'm the first one on the scene
Frank Turner feels like he always gets into trouble first

I'm a defeated commander
Frank Turner feels like he has lost control of his life

I'm a tone-deaf composer
Frank Turner feels like he is not in tune with his life

I'm a strange name whispered in a dream
Frank Turner thinks he is a mysterious and unusual person

So come on now Josephine, show yourself to me
Frank Turner wants Josephine to help him find himself

Let's pretend it's Halloween
Frank Turner wants to escape reality for a while

You come as a car crash
Frank Turner wants Josephine to represent the disaster in his life

And I'll go as James Dean
Frank Turner wants to be someone else for a bit

I'm Napoloeon on Elba
Frank Turner is still imagining himself as Napoleon

And you're a hundred days in 1815
Josephine represents a time when Frank Turner was content with himself

I wrote all of these letters to my immortal beloved
Frank Turner has written letters to someone he cares about deeply

You're the only one who's ever gonna know what they mean
Frank Turner wants Josephine to understand him and his feelings

Come on now Josephine, show yourself to me
Frank Turner needs Josephine's help to find himself

Could have been anyone
Frank Turner could have been anyone except himself

But I ended up being me
Frank Turner is unhappy with who he is

Could have been runaway
Frank Turner could have run away from his problems

Could have been what you need
Frank Turner could have been what others wanted him to be

I wish that I was anyone except for just me
Frank Turner does not like himself and wishes he was someone else

Come on now Josephine
Frank Turner needs Josephine's help

Show yourself to me
Frank Turner wants Josephine to reveal herself so that he can find himself

Come on now Josephine
Frank Turner needs Josephine's help

Show yourself to me
Frank Turner wants Josephine to reveal herself so that he can find himself

Come on now Josephine
Frank Turner needs Josephine's help

Show yourself to me
Frank Turner wants Josephine to reveal herself so that he can find himself

Come on now Josephine
Frank Turner needs Josephine's help

Show yourself to me
Frank Turner wants Josephine to reveal herself so that he can find himself
