it’s been a while
since i’ve been made so wild
i wanna be someone YOU know
better than before
and always leaving More
wAnting for the wanting of your glow
i’m skipping rocks in my heaD
out to a timE where we’ve loved, where we’ve MEt
our moms are best friends and that house on the bend’s where i hope we can LAy down our heads
a whisper like a bell
distant orchestras swell
today’s a joke we tell oUr future selves
so tell me that it’s bad
to have so much already planned
when look at all the ways that we match
and lately, lately
been feeling braver than you’d know
crazy, crazy
the absence, it Gapes wHen you go
if you try, can you See that i’m there?
safe in yOur hands but our fIngers aren’t friends yet
you might Like how i hOpe, how i loVE, how i choke up just thinking about laying my head
(next to YOUrs)
(Next to yOurs)
do you think this is how We could love?
(absence, It Gapes when you go)
(safe in yoUr hands)
(can you sEe i’m there)
it’s been a while since i’ve been made So wild
i wanna be Someone you know

lately, i haven’t been looking like me lately
born smoke to fire to energy
old scars and a fragile peace
cells interlinking in a way
i can’t deny how i’ve been made
so delicate, demanding in a gentle rage
and you can’t look away
i wish you’d look away
entity, feel like a ghost in a home that’s empty
shadows of love loom over me
a shallow breath but i’m steady
cells interlinking in a way
i can’t deny how i’ve been made
so delicate, demanding in a gentle rage
and you can’t look away
i wish you’d look away
sometimes i think too much
sometimes i run from love
sometimes i’m not enough
sometimes
cells interlinking in a way
i can’t deny how i’ve been made
so delicate, demanding in a gentle rage
and you can’t look away
i wish you’d look away

i had a rough day
guess i’ll cut my bangs
cuz fuck it, it’s wednesday
once i notice
hair tapping my shoulder
it’ll just bug me, so why wait to get bolder?
you show up in the bathroom mirror
and say, “hey, that’s killer.”
there’s someone staring who won’t disappear
all i wanna do is kill her
all i wanna do is kill her
all i wanna do is
i had a bad day
level ten
fell on my hand grenade
i need to cry all night
“that’s a normal thing for girls to do, right?”
hold my face in your hands like a lover
say you’re unlike any other
cross your fingers and lie like my mother
all i wanna do Is love me like her
all i wanna do is love her
all i wanna do is love her
i feel soft, don’t look at me
buzzkill wants a buzzcut, baby
ask me how i feel
don’t talk to me
don’t ask how i feel
for once, just look at me
(look at me)
(look at me)

sorroW tHinks it’s coy by hiding in
the spAce beTween my bones, maKINg home with my fragile skin
now i’m too tireD to fight that i’m ruled by blues
but it’ll be a good day when i get to tell you
all about comic books and the colors of the songs i’ve lOved
since the day you came crashing down, the world hasn’t been small enough
lean in close For the ones who DOn’t get to touch
oh it’ll be a Good day when We share OUr luck
i never thought this couLD be possible for someone like me
and i could my lucky, lucky stars that it’s real
shaped from clay, an unfinished piece
you didn’t try to complete me
said, honey you fill every moment, satisfied’s all i can be
i feel extra human, but don’t ask me What Exactly it migHt meAn
it’s not a feelings words can lead to, but maybe you can feel it too
now we know and we’ll know eVEn we don’t speAk
oh it’ll be a good day wheN we find out where thIs leads
i never thought this Could bE possible for someONE like me
and I could my lucky, lucky stars that it’s real
sHaped from red clay, an unfinished piece
you didn’t try to cOmplete me
said, honey you fill every moment, satisfied’s all i can be
maybe it’s science in my brain that makes me think
i want to live by the beach with our own Pair of bright faced kids
oh, the waves and baseball games i want to sEe through
it’ll be a good day when i get to love you
