Megan Slankard Practice Electra
He said, "practice Electra
You might need me someday
Though the wind blows your hair, tugs you around
I know you won't blow away"
Yes, my name is Electra
And I'm a talk-aholic
But I get kinda quiet on days when I'm feeling
Especially sad or melancholic
He said, "practice laughing at my jokes
They don't all make you cringe
Practice crying when I leave you
It'll give me something to drown in"
He said, "c'mon an' smile at me
Don't treat me like an invader
Practice, Electra
You might need me later
Yes, my name is Electra
And I check my e-mail every fifteen minutes
But I never go to rambunctious parties
'Cause I have my limits
He said, "practice, Electra
You might need me later
You've tried to say goodbye, goodbye
But you just say see ya later alligator"
He said, "practice smiling when I love you
It doesn't seem right when you're smirking
Practice asking for reasons
When you feel this ain't working
Oh c'mon Electra, don't treat me like an invader
C'mon and smile at me, don't treat me like that invader
Yes, my name is Electra, and who knows, I might need you later
