Going Once

going once, going twice
 sold to the girl
 who ignored all the advice
 of all the people who knew better
 she just stood there
 on the front porch
 waiting for her will
 to come and get her
 she was packed
 she had a suitcase
 full of noble intentions
 she had a map packed
 and a straight face
 hell bent on reinvention
 and she was ready
 for the lonely
 she was in it for
 it only
 going once, going twice
 down the road less taken
 with her diary and her WD40
 and her swiss army knife
 and her beer
 and there was always
 someone there to say
 why don't you just stay
 and hang your hat here
 but she was packed
 she had a suitcase
 full of bumbles and near misses
 and she was swinging
 through a jungle
 of last calls and first kisses
 and she was learning
 about please
 and huge humilities
 then one day she looked around here
 and everything up till then was showing
 and she wondered how did i get here
 without even knowing where i was going?
 now there's no getting out of this
 and there is no going back
 and it all seems so odd sometimes
 and the odds all seem stacked
 going once, going twice
 sold to the girl
 who ignored all the advice
 of all the people who knew better
 she just stood there
 on the front porch
 waiting for her will
 to come and get her
 she was packed
 she had a suitcase
 she had a map packed
 and a straight face
 she was ready
 for the lonely
 she was in it for
 it only
