Imaginary Friends

She can talk in codes I only partly understand
She learned them trying to communicate with imaginary friends
She used to call them angels but now they're not anything
Now she feels alone and wishes that they were here again

She writes a letter and one week later she puts it in the mail
She says that California Dreaming is a cautionary tale
She says I shouldn't treat it like an empty pop song
She says interpretations make the premises all wrong

She has two older sisters who send care packages in the mail
She collects all of their letters in a yellow plastic pail
She can make it to the store as it's part of her routine
She watches videos until they mix in with her dreams
Until they mix in with her dreams
Until they mix in with her dreams
Until they mix in with her dreams
