June Phoenix

In the dark, I look like I just might disappear
With my hands waving out, wondering if this was real
When the years could mean everything, light moving time
I don't know how to grow up and start wasting mine
I know that I have been a challenge in this life
I have too many teeth, I have found ways to bite
I could bite with my arms, take the tires out and run
Slash them up with my mind, don't even need to touch

I just think about you
And the ways that you've grown up
I think about you
And the ways that you've lost
Soften the waves
You've painted for me
Yourself in the lines
But you make believe

I don't know how to give
When I give all I give
I get trampled
I am trying to write something funny
To get a good rating this time
But I'm not funny

Did you laugh about the dreams that keep me up at night?
I think you're staring across the room, but you've been dead in my life
For five years, I just stare at this shirt with your face
On it, thinking of you and somehow that makes me feel okay
So I will just be inside wasting all of these years
Hoping that maybe this June you will reappear
Like a free bird breathing, a call through the fire
You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix

You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix
You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix
You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix
You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix
You're a phoenix this time, you're a phoenix
You're a phoenix
