​lilies

Look at all those lilies, there must be fucking hundreds
The choruses of frogs were croaking through our car window
I think we're leaving or just crossing the country
Grabbed a couple scrunchies just in case our hair grows long

We were going to Vermont, you could see the stars above us
I swore that they were brighter, or maybe it was just a phone in the bed
Reflected on the window, my cousin died that night
But we wouldn't hear about it ‘til morning

You and I were meeting, I could see you in the mirror
The Sun’s already down, it’s been getting warmer
I think I’m getting warmer, wish that I was glowing
Wish I was mother nature
It’s a funny thing to want, I know

She was a tough kid
She never finished high school
Never went to college, just started setting shit on fire
That's what her parents told the PTA, addicted to books and Satan
Nobody cared to hear her songs (No one else could hear her songs)

I guess that I dunno exactly what I’m saying
Oh, I wanna send everyone to space right now
You’ll be so goddamn pretty like the stars
And I’ll be looking down at everything so far away, so far away

I will get a job again, I’ll stop doing all this teenage shit
You will never hear from me, but you will be proud of me
I’ll leave this awful rabbit hole that took away my sympathy
I will bring the seasons back, even if it kills me
