lyrics

Soft white sheets in a hurricane
threadbare forms on the mezzanine
my mother told me time and again
can’t always be who you are
can’t always bend the world around your skin

but i walk tall for you
keep my head above the trees and you
breeze through, each moon
phase one, phase two

and i throw bombs at you
I tell you everything’s a lie but you
see through, each mood
see through, bad news

wear a red dress under your wedding gown
put the seat back we can fool around
keep walking down an empty hallway
we might’ve did it wrong
but we did it our way

but i’ll eat fire for you
i’ll do anything you tell me to
don’t you, want to?
don’t you? me too

and I feel something new
don’t you feel it coming over you?
can’t you? I do
can’t you? me too

Catch a shooting star like the olden days
Feel it pulling off into your outer space
Keep moving cause i know we can’t stay
only place to go
is right back where you came

but treetops bend to you
the way I used to do
for you, when you’d
come down, to soon

You’re so crazy June,
yeah, i guess i’m crazy too
for your, dark room
you’re my, dark moon
