I used to be cold in the summer And I sure was tired of being One or the other Can you hear me? Are you listening? ~~Aren’t you a little Saturdays, I would lay In my bed with a tequila ~~Aren’t you a little Make the day, pass away Burning aches you like the feel of Aren’t you a little tired of laying on your face Lost in a northern colonial state Peppa pig so big and brave You stomp in a puddle, you cry in the rain I used to learn everyday, everyday That I was a quitter And I would feel those seismic waves, bend and break Don’t dare reconsider ~~Aren’t you a little Walk a yard, walk a block, walk a mile It’s my decision ~~Aren’t you a little Walk a dog, dog a cop, cop a while In my condiition Aren’t you a little Tired of laying on your face Lost in a northern colonial state Peppa pig so big and brave You stomp in a puddle, u cry in the rain I used to be cold x2 I used to be

Bettyjo I’ve got a question for you Do you know That I think about you? Sweet as cotton candy And I mean it As much as can be Bettjo Do the hours pass by Very slow And the days a lifetime Please Mr. and Mrs. Can I take your daughter out for Hugs and kisses Bettyjo Bettyjo Bettyjo x4 Bettyjo It’s only yes, no maybes Can we go Lie beneath the oak trees I see you in the pinks and the blues of Every flower And I make sure to send the pictures to you It’s a reminder Bettyjo Bettyjo Bettyjo x3

You lie to kids about things that don’t matter Bandages to make them feel better Lollipops after vaccinations Alcohol on cuts, scrapes, and abrasions Permission slip, learn about the ocean Take a trip, manta rays in motion They’re so big, and you’re so teeny tiny With bruised knees, and a little grimy When did we agree to teach our kids to hate themselves as much as we do? Break a kid, make them start to question What it is their parents love about them Take a quiz, less than satisfactory What is this? I don’t think I like me When did we agree to teach our kids to hate themselves as much as we do Ashes ashes, dust (dust), cut my ear off if I tell you I don’t wanna be a person if a person is a person like me x2 Pattycake, all over your body Stay awake, now is not the time to dream Final turn, pull into the driveway Pack a bag, plan to run away When did we agree to teach our kids to hate themselves as much as we do Ashes ashes, dust (dust), cut my ear off if I tell you I don’t wanna be a person if a person is a person like me x2

I spent 10th grade Talking to a Friend who disappeared I have questions And I wonder Sometimes if she’s here I still have her Email address I look up her name But she’s nowhere To be found there Guess she’s still the same I’ve spent a year deliberating I might just kill myself Not today but someday Not today but someday

Maybe I’m asleep And this is all a dream And I’m a Casanova With greeeen Eyes that shine Or maybe baby blue I don’t have a witness I don’t have a clue Maybe I’m asleep Maybe I’m asleep Maybe I’m asleep And this is all a ruse Maybe I’m not human And youuuu’ve Never said a word To anybody else And I’m imagination Hell I’ve imagined worse Maybe I’m asleep Maybe I’m asleep What if I’m awake And all of this is true I’m not imagination And I’m as real as you Then I’ve got something to say If I’m real today I hope you’re all real too

It wasn’t fair to ask you to Move across the country And leave everyone you love I was a fool, and you chose me Was I supposed to believe I could be someone you loved I was someone you loved

I had a dream that you kissed me I wrote that dream in my diary I hid the words beneath my bed And tried to shake you from the depths of my head And on the way to school How could I know that there were hands on my version Of you I don’t have the words needed to explain The way your heart stops pumping the blood to your brain Catch your breath, you can’t believe it’s true Someone’s been reading about my version of you Someone’s been reading about my version of you Trace the lines on my palm Count to 10, count to 20, try to stay calm The sun comes and she goes Takes the light, brings the dark, and she leaves u alone I don’t have the words needed to explain The way your heart stops pumping the blood to your brain Catch your breath, you can’t believe it’s true Someone’s been reading about my Someone’s been reading about my Someone’s been reading about my version of you Someone’s been reading about my version of you Someone’s been reading about my version of you Someone’s been reading about my version of you
