lyrics

grew up in the north not the far north but the north enough to know
the sting of the wind and the numb of months and months of snow
when you go I’ll try not to let myself be all

I was there on the stoop in the snow I was there
I was there I would sing so I’d know I was there

your words are so robotic your eyes want where you didn’t end up you aren’t alone in the night
you still love one another you just don’t kiss each other your hands are warm and safe late at night

and I wanna love me as I was when I was seventeen
when all of the sharp things were pouring into my body
when all of the lies that could keep me safe
were forged into armor it’s hard to escape

and I wanna love you with all of my body
but it’s full of defenses they are faster than I am
they are so sharp they make me so sharp
I am not an ocean I am not jagged cliffs

I would be a bird I would be a swarm of bees
I would be soft as the soil soft enough to sink into
