Your mom won’t stop changing minds around
She always tries on coats at the lost and found
She gets a new jacket almost every day
waits one week, and throws them away.
All she ever wanted was a coat
that lasts
more than one week.
And all she ever got was the past
throwing up all his guts
in the living room.
No matter what they do,
I’ll always be with you.
You know we’re not like them.
We always find out
what’s wrong right on the double.
Your dad lives on an archipelago.
He always hops another island
to run from the ghosts
of the little girls who haunt his waking step.
Every river that he crosses is another gap.
All you ever wanted was a family
that understands
that you are not something that haunts
but breathes.
(Chorus)
And I know that you and I
will always reach for the sky
and if you find what you need,
I hope you find it is me.
