Braids

Burn my summer braids
To feel the flames crawl into my head
And now I’ve gone too far
And I’ve become someone else instead

We go out late and I feel frozen
But I can’t tell you cause
You like the way it feels to be cold

You know I’m on my way
I’m on my way to doing something more
You know I think it’s fake
The way we change
These braids won’t keep us warm

Tried to win the prize
But someone lied about the game
Now the songs, they sound so strange
And I’m afraid of my own age

We go out late and I feel frozen
But I can’t tell you cause you like the way it feels

You know I’m on my way
I’m on my way to doing something more
You know I think it’s fake
The way we change
These braids won’t keep us warm

I burnt my braids, told silly lies; faked it
Not cool enough, I’d had enough
I saw you cry, you fell apart baby
Don’t be the one to go too far

You know I’m on my way
I’m on my way to doing something more
You know I think it’s fake
The way we change
These braids won’t keep us warm
