Holding hands in kindergarten
You’re shit out of luck, nobody wants you
little lady with the red curls
riding her bike, around the classroom
Everybody’s got a secret
And I’m more or less, a freak of nature
Don’t tell mommy, don’t tell daddy
I’ll just paint my brain, with pink erasures
I know something that you don’t know
Cutting your hair gets you in trouble
Ask your teacher for forgiveness
She calls your mom from the office
Someone’s gotta tell her
They can see it on her
When she tells a lie or two
They learn not to trust her
Everything is bigger, when you’re in first grade
Hide behind a pillar, when you’re in first grade
Terrify your teacher, with your charade
Blame it on your sister, when you misbehave?
Cross your heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in your eye
When they hit you don’t you cry
It’s not true you’d never lie

It’s been a year since I told her
On the 4th of July
And I knew she was moving away
But i said it any way
It’s been a year since I told her
What I knew from the start
All the love I had for her
It was tearing me apart
So I wrote a song
I didn’t like it
It sounded wrong
I wrote it again
With different words
And I planned to sing it for her
Instead I got drunk on the 4th of July
I tried to look her in the eye
I got drunk, I was horrified
So nervous I took her aside
And we sat on her bed
And I stared straight ahead
And I said
I love you
It’s been an year since she left me
And I never sang that song
And she’ll probably never know it exists
And She’ll never sing along
So I wrote a song
I didn’t like it
It sounded wrong
I wrote it again
With different words
And I planned to send it to her
Instead I got drunk on the 4th of July
and tried my hardest not to cry
Got drunk, and I told myself another lie
Had to set myself aside
And I sat on my bed
And I stared straight ahead
And I said

You’re pretty
The flowers bloom because of it
Your brown eyes
Make me shiver just a little bit
Your smile
Is warmer than the sun could ever be
It’s too much
To ask for you to notice me
If I were to open my mouth
Would you like the words that came out?
I don’t even know what I’d say
I’m very useless. and very gay
I’m blinded
You shine so bright that I can’t see
Distorted
Your beauty’s far too much for me
The sirens
They call from underneath the blue
I’m so weak
I’d follow them, I’d follow you
If I were to open my mouth
Would you like the words that came out?
I don’t even know what I’d say
I’m very useless. and very gay

Be a little kinder
To the kid inside your head
Tell her that you're older, wiser
Pay her compliments instead
There are things you've always hated
About your body and your mind
But hating's gotten no one anywhere
And loving has, what a surprise
So be kind to yourself
Count your fingers count your toes
Sing a diddy, pick your nose
And scream to the top of your lungs
Feel the burning in your throat
That is yours and yours alone
Remember the smell of a honeysuckle bud
It doesn't smell like much, but it's lovely and that's enough
Remember
Please remember
That you don't have to love your body
And you don't have to love your brain
They're just tools to get you somewhere
Nothing more and nothing less
Be a little kinder
To the kid inside your head
Tell her that you're older wiser
Pay her compliments instead

Nothing Permanent

Dmaj7, C#m/E, F#m, C#m/E
Carpel tunnel, cavities
and cuts across your fingers
Charlie Horse and chilly nose
and chapped lips in the winter
Allergies and achy bones
and athletes in your sneakers
All the things that hurt you
All the things that make you weaker
Tell someone you miss them
Tell them that you want to see them
There’s no use in waiting
You know anything can happen
I am nothing permanent
And neither are you either
Take a seat, rest your head
Close your eyes, think of Saturday instead
In this life that we live, over work
And you’re as good as dead
Raise your hand, If you’ve felt
Like a tool, a cog in a machine
Say hello, say goodbye
There’s no time, that’s how it’s gotta
Be a little pretty
Be attractive for the neighbors
Fuck if you don’t know them
Everybody is a stranger
Help yourself to me
And help yourself to all my sisters
Kiss them on the cheek
Because they’ve all got fever blisters
Every single morning
after lunch and after dinner
Panic in the bathroom
Point your flaws out in the mirror
I am nothing permanent
And neither are you either
Take a seat, rest your head
Close your eyes, think of Saturday instead
In this life that we live, over work
And you’re as good as dead
Raise your hand, If you’ve felt
Like a tool, a cog in a machine
Say hello, say goodbye
There’s no time, that’s how it’s gotta be

You told me, you loved me
And I fell for it
Cry baby, still waiting, still waiting
for you to maybe
Change your mind
one more time
Please, change your mind
I’m driving, I’m driving
That song is playing
I’m crying, I’m crying, I’m trying,
But that song is playing
Yesterday, Marvin Gaye
Marvin Hey, have you forgotten?
Are your cheeks lined and streaked?
The concrete, polka dotted
When I said I love you
And you said I love you too
I felt a high that I had never felt
I just wanna tell you,
That I’m still in love with you
Feel that high that I have never felt
Since you packed your boxes
And you filled your small blue car
Gave you quarters so you could pay the tolls
And you’re far away now
But if you ask
I’ve still got quarters so you can pay the tolls
I’ve still got quarters so you can pay the tolls
If the moon forgets us in the evening
And if the stars forget to turn around
And if the sun forgets to take us with her
And all the trees and all the plants they whither
I won’t forget the music of your laughter
The way we said hello and said goodbye
And everyday before and every after
I’ve had it in my heart and on my mind
I love you
I love you
I love you
Do you love me too?
