lyrics

i wake as you call me//
in the summertime//
with your brown hair and green eyes//
dull tooth, a pink sky, maybe//

i loathed cause you loved//
the dark bar in Texas baby//
he left marks on your throat//
i saw and hearts broke//yeah//

you swore to god, “I can explain,”//
AZ, 6/21/16//
if you don’t care//
then I don’t care//

pannikin, the morning, and your mellow sigh//
my mind is laughing//
cause i’m still your smile lines//

i felt lucid in this moment//
where i’m driving backwards//

cause my city is big and dark//
she took the brighter part//

my heart changed it’s frequency//

i dont care if youre gone//
you left me running home through back streets crying//
i couldn't help but stare as you walked by//
with darker eyes//

ivory been questioning am i alright//
cause after all she took the light//
now i’m big with brighter eyes//
but do they shine//

i never held a hand this far//
or slow danced to “Troubled Water"//
and i dont even care if it’s over//

i never held a hand this far//
i never had the brains to lock my heart//
