i can’t get anything past her
she can read between my lines
she sees the weeds in my garden
and when i’m bleeding from the thorns
i will always cry for the womb
and the voice that carries me home
i can’t get peace in the darkness
when she turns the light out on me
i’m five years old and i’m helpless
walking up to a crowded beach
but the world has moved to the side
and my universe has died
i just can’t see this without her
i’m never, never gonna get that joke
her nervous paranoid laughter
rings out in every cell of me
so the natural order is wrong
i’m never gonna sing that goodbye song
never gonna lose the eternal eye
cos you can’t lose half your mind
gonna try to make sense of the world
try to reason with it all
but i know i’ll always be somebody’s child
i know i’ll always be somebody’s baby
gonna try to be a grown up girl
try to reason with them all
but i know i’ll always come back to her
i know she’ll always be waiting for me
