lyrics

i will fall asleep and have recurring dreams forever
you’ll keep asking if your in them and the answer is i hope so
and we will stay up
late night doing readings about different kind of lilies
or different flowers altogether

and the kids never grow up when they are living in this city
they skate around and do things that fry their brains real silly
it’s an american beauty
i wish i was out there with ya
one day i’ll be out there with ya

i don’t really like most poetry unless it moves like water
i don’t really like the winter until it feels like missing
bus stops and hand me downs you broke your nose while sledding
and i helped you recover so your mom chewed us both out

real awful before dinner and you never forgave her
instead you etched your own name onto every classroom table
and nobody tried to stop you put a candle to your hand to prove it couldn’t hurt you

theres singe marks on your fingers now
they all laughed at you anyhow
we threw rocks at the weird girl who’s a friend but not your girlfriend
or anything like that just someone you care about
shut up and help me up so i can frontflip off dads pickup

i think we could just live here and do this stuff forever
driving around to diners and listening to motown
we wouldn’t have to worry about curfews or marriage
i don’t think that our parents are expecting us to come home

at 21 i’m gonna drive straight to the pacific
you won’t have time to worry if you don’t know when i’m leaving
cause there's a sort of beauty in the loneliness of winter
Arms outstretched to God and a hundred thousand lovers

There's some sort of beauty in leaving home forever
Your home is a highway my home is my wood floor
Boxes full of trophies And books your mother gave you
and no matter the distraction i love that i still miss you
