In the summer
Crank the cold air up to blast
We don’t tan
We burn
Only god can save our flesh
It’s not enough to speak aloud
The things you want
To come around
You have to open up ur chest
To let the light seep in
How was I so self-important?
Acting bigger than
The sum of my parts
Like I’m not a child in an adult sport
It’s not enough to speak aloud
The things you want
To come around
You have to open up ur chest
To let the light seep in
Outran our frozen adolescence
Both got older
Both the same
You don’t talk
And I still complain
It’s not enough to speak aloud
The things you want
To come around
You have to open up ur chest
To let the light seep in
Baby
Born in your bedroom
See the head crown
Little eyes blue
Dad cut the umbilical cord
Now you are breathing
That’s what you’re made for
You said
How did we get here
Only yesterday we were three feet tall
It’s crazy
I’m watching myself get older this time
When we’re mad we get moody
Conversations
Futile aching
Ask where
You’ll be in ten years
Maybe a high-rise
Maybe you’ll disappear
There are tears on your freckles
When you say
I’m glad you’re here
