Josephine (Songbook Version) Frank Turner

[Verse 1]
I heard the name "Josephine"
It came to me in a dream
And I don't usually set too much store by the things these things might mean
It was spoken with seriousness
More of a whisper than a scream
Now I'm waiting on some Josephine
To show herself to me

[Chorus]
I could have been anyone
I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody
To wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon, could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
So come on now Josephine, show yourself to me

[Verse 2]
Come on now Josephine, give me what I need
I don't like to be needy, but needs must, I can't stand being this person that I've been
I'm an impending car crash, and you're the first one on the scene
I'm a defeated commander, I'm a half-deaf composer
I'm a strange name whispered in a dream

[Chorus]
I could have been anyone
I imagined I could be
I just needed somebody
To wake me from my sleep
I could have been Napoleon, could have been Beethoven
Could have been anyone but uncomfortable me
So come on now Josephine, show yourself to me
