turn around again but now you watch what we get to keep on
the girl is running out
the rocky shoreline, and stop what we thieve
thieve
we want you
what’s the word - without a thing to say
you don't stop when girls own love
And we own them
we are experiences and emotions
we're going to recognize the world as it’s gone
different hearts beat on a cue to play and we know when you're working
you’re seventeen and
you choose from you
now you can’t
choose
I don't care
we need it
you can
it’s all right
take in violation
don't spend a cent
wave after wave after time to recognize the magic
of youth
the opinionated taste of life
the colours dissolve on your tongue (disappear from your eyes)
hair in your mouth
today is a thread
born from a branch (dead with the wind)
no signs out the window
nothing to read into autumn
can you feel it
gazes of a thousand needles
mother’s tears gently hitting
your cheeks
the petrichor that you absorb
become pure again
curl your toes into the earth
it’s too late to experience
innocence
you were lucky
