I think she wanted more
From kitchen floors

What were you waiting for?

Some kind of miracle?

Oh, Eleanor
Were you just terrified?

Maybe things got too loud (Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor)

Maybe she's just too proud

So come on now, Eleanor
I swear to God you wanted more

Come on, oh, Eleanor
The world was knockin' at your door
F#
And you just stood on your kitchen floor
You just stood there, Eleanor
B
What's next, not the sound of war
The glory you once say for
F#
Come on, oh, Eleanor
F#
What were you waiting for?
