lyrics

I never met anyone with a name quite like yours
One where the C's fill out the Tongue like grapes in the summer sun
not making space for anything or anyone

I remember dancing in your footsteps to this song
in the room your dad would use when he still got along with your mom
and his wife and kids would laugh and play
while you sat and thank about it every second
every day

but it's the absence of thought
that keeps you hurting
and it's just hopeful thinking
but I need it more than you will ever need it or ever care to see
that I won't stop you

you cross your i's with lines cause
it makes you different

you dart your eyes and lie cause
it makes you different


go fill your bucket up with smoke and be that change you always wanted.
planting seeds and newborn trees
spreading smog across your garden


anything you can be I can be better
and this isn't arrogance its experience
I think I know why you think you're better than everybody
