lyrics

oh so cool and calm
put a mask on when i fall
you don’t need it all,
‘cause you never did

our chests rise and fall,
hiding in the bathroom stall
we’re no fun at all
if you’re pushing daisies underneath us,
no one gets it no one gets us

i can’t recall the last time i could sleep and close my eyes
a summer with you — changes everything
don’t think i’ll tell you how you make me feel like i’m alive
feel materialized
can’t look you in the eyes

the street lights run together
but we’re running free, untethered

what if this summer came to stay
came to stay forever

valentine
you make me feel like
i could melt away in the
summertime

so happy i could die

fall asleep
beneath the shade
on hotter days
for night-time energy

the only kind we need

my soul heaved and ached
seeing autumn permeate
everything i lived for
all the things i adored

the leaves fell with your smile
tears and snow and stomach bile
Why can’t you stay a perfect memory
like those summer days?
stay free and wild

i count the days that i have spent alone, desensitized
that summer with you — it changed everything
they said i’d get used to the snow after it fell a while
i don’t believe them, you can’t believe them

my biggest fear has surfaced
and clearly gone unnoticed
what if spring never came
and the trees remained snow-capped
forever
