This song is about being in an emotionally abusive relationship. Being gaslit and feeling like you’re going crazy while your partner is widely loved by your peers.
[Verse 1]
Lend a shoulder to your lover
Sinking slow in the August heat
I am older, half my mother
Look how this time just carries me
Could you hold her, could you love her
As you did in humidity
Since the winter you've gone colder
Purple hands and purple feet
[Chorus]
It's comical and bright
How your head's on right ways
She's calico inside
With her head on sideways
[Verse 2]
Undress my body before I go
Soon baby's thighs go indigo
Hold your index at my waistline
Well you were such a careful love
We are only half our mothers
Look how this time just ruins us
[Chorus]
It's comical and bright
How your head's on right ways
She's calico inside
With her head on sideways
[Bridge]
Calendar lover you tire so quick
If you'd say it out loud, well I could loosen my fist
But I'm only a sweetheart when you see it fit
I'll say it
[Chorus]
It's comical and bright
How your hands on right ways
I'm calico inside
With my head on sideways
