thawing technicolor
city springtime corner store
letting out the laundry
racing shadows down the shore
while you wait in my apartment
silhouette framed in the door
I've been looking for a reason
I don't gotta look no more
to stop waiting on you
always waiting on you
to stop waiting on you
always waiting on you
"there's no safety on the outskirts
there's no comfort in the search
you must open up the notebook
do your life-affirming work"
or just let one hand trace the margin
while the other palms the stone
I could squeeze it till it bleeds
it still won't tell me what I'm owed
I can't worry bout that
always worried bout that
I can't worry bout that
always worried bout that
I've been smart I've been trite
growing girls need to write
I've been strong I've been slight
I go dark I go light
I lived wrong I got right
now I sleep through the night
used to sit up and cry in the kitchen
I've been smart I've been trite
growing girls need to write
I've been strong I've been slight
I go dark I go light
I lived wrong I got right
now I sleep through the night
used to sit and get high in the kitchen
