smoke in your hair, dirt on your heels, i'm running through the trees so i can lay with you in the field. bodies and bodies, we rest our little heads. by the time i wake up in the morning, i will think that i had dreamt it.
-
wake up at 4am and roll under your bed because i'm afraid of who'll find me if i stay another second. walk home every morning, hear the tv on, crawl around the house just to sleep in the backyard
o you don't have to care about who you're hurting
we're selfish but we don't care because we are selfish. u can move galaxies or drink yourself to death if u want it. liberty is not skin deep, there's no empire in my bloodstream, bed sheets, or the air around me
o you don't have to care about who you're hurting

wait for me, i'll set myself free and learn to use my body
wait up for me, i'm gonna set myself free. there's an empire in front of me.

u are the stars and i want to be the fire in your eyes

[ last night u laid on my chest and tapped along to my hearbeat underneath the stars and the fireflies. i could have sworn the whole universe was crafted just for us. june has never tasted this sweet on my lips before and i' don't know how much longer it will last --- but for now you are here. for now you are laying on my chest and you are every star's envy as you glow against the night sky. for now i am warm and blushing and the world is spinning underneath of us and for now u are holding my hand like u never want to let me go. the world tastes the same, but the air is still sweet and sticky and i will be open-mouthed and wanting forever. ]

lie on our backs and dive into the sky
lie on our backs under the light of fireflies
but not today, i'm awkward and don't know what to say.
could they see us move on the floor in the dark?
could they see us twist into one moving heart?
not today, i'm stiff and could never be swayed.
could they see our shapes dance around in the dark?
did they see us melt and all fall apart?
lie on my back and dive into the sky
lie in my bed, awake but bleary-eyed.

no matter how much i want it, it will never happen
no matter how much i think i need it, it will never happen
and even if i pray for it, it will never happen
-
so run away, i guess, run away
i'll find a way, i'll always find a way to fuck up everything that i want to say
ooo i only ever wanted to be you
ooo i only ever wanted to live inside you
i hope there's a woman inside of me, oh
you are the woman i want to be

we could just walk around tonight if u want to
or lie in bed until we fall asleep
candlelight in ur room, a nervous greenish-blue
lie in bed until we fall asleep
-
we could drive around tonight if u want to
could u rest ur hand on my leg while i steer?
9pm in june, u can feel the whole car shake through the holes in ur shoes
thank u for teaching me, i learned how to move
thank u for letting me breathe inside u
