we never painted by the numbers, baby
rosé flowing with your chosen family
and it would have been sweet
if it could have been me
if one thing had been different,
would everything be different today?
you know the greatest films of all time were never made
when you are young they assume you know nothing
chase two girls, lose the one
you wear the same jewels that I gave you
I can change everything about me to fit in
cross your heart, won’t tell no other
your braids like a pattern
love you to the moon and to saturn
you won’t have to cry
or hide in the closet
and though I can’t recall your face
I still got love for you
whispers of “are you sure?”
“never have I ever before”
your back beneath the sun
wishin’ I could write my name on it
make sure nobody sees you leave
hood over your head, keep your eyes down
leave the perfume on the shelf
that you picked out just for him
you showed me colors I can’t see with anyone else
you taught me a secret language I can’t speak with anyone else
were there clues I didn’t see?
give me the blues and then purple-pink skies
will you kiss me on the porch
in front of all your stupid friends?
if you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it?
i’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything
but I know I miss you
standing in your cardigan
kissing in my car again
I would die for you in secret
