I was a wasp and you were a mouse
we would never talk it out
because I'm under you
So I got up and I got out
I can't do this by myself
while I'm under you
I am hearing all the things you told me
back when you were messed up
head against the wall
legs facing out
you were hiding
I keep hoping for the longshots
staring past the sour talks
dreams as high as space rocks
it's much clearer now
we were toxic youth
I was the soil and you were the seed
when the black bird pried you free
and left me under you
We're much too young to
get caught up under the same sun
and the same moon that was ours
has receded and started again
it's time for this cycle to come to an end
and I'm not
Hearing all the things you told me
back when you were messed up
head against the wall legs facing out
you were hiding
I keep hoping for the longshots
staring past the sour talks
dreams as high as space rocks
it's much clearer now
we were toxic youth
