Waitress Lyrics by Maggie Teachout

Maybe I’m Still Just Peter

2019

[Verse 1]
Black and white water take me away
Feathers made of paper burn in the day
Color-shifting eyelids open and close
Scratched out bits of melodies nobody knows
[Refrain]
I could be a waitress
I could be an astronaut
I could be a waitress
I could be an astronaut
[Verse 2]
I’ll be a waitress in some big city far away
Get myself a black dress and find somewhere to play
All of these dreams and nowhere to go
I’ll make minimum wage, trying to not let my age show
[Refrain]
I could be a waitress
I could be an astronaut
I could be a waitress
I could be an astronaut
[Bridge]
I don’t know what I want, I know what I’m good at
If I were an astronaut, I wouldn’t have to look at it
If I were on Wall Street, at least I’d be busy
If I were across the sea, would you still come visit me
[Refrain]
I could be a waitress
I could be an astronaut
I could be a waitress
I could be an astronaut
(aahhh)
[Outro]
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
I’ll be a waitress
(I'll) (Be a waitress)x4
