Snowbird
Peaceful dreaming
I’m finally sleeping
Grateful to wake up
And i’m still breathing
The ones who love me
Are reminders to love myself
And to never again
Leave my heart on the shelf
Did you sneak out of the house when you were 16?
Did monster claws slip in the back pocket of your jeans?
Birds fly south for the winter
Lyin on the beach
The waves gently crash like a whisper
Lavender grows
It’s all light now
The salty sea air blows
Feeling like a child now
Stop trying to make me cry now
Nothing to worry about now
Nothing to worry about now
How can i really be
This happy?
I don’t seem as shrill as i used to
Tired of thinking of the shit that i went through
I’ve got some really great friends i can talk to
While finding shapes in the clouds high above you
Did you get drunk when the boys made you scream?
Did you get high on the way to your dreams?
Birds fly south for the winter
Lyin on the beach
The waves gently crash like a whisper
Lavender grows
It’s all light now
The salty sea air blows
Feeling like a child now
Stop trying to make me cry now
Nothing to worry about now
Nothing to worry about now
How can i really be
This happy?
Colors mean so many different things when you’re by yourself
And there are some things you just can’t explain to anyone else
Did you kiss him on the cheek when you had to leave?
Or did they hurt you so bad that you started to bleed?
Birds fly south for the winter
Lyin on the beach
The waves gently crash like a whisper
Lavender grows
It’s all light now
The salty sea air blows
Feeling like a child now
Stop trying to make me cry now
Nothing to worry about now
Nothing to worry about now
How can i really be
This happy?
