/// Lyrics:
I love you, I’m nervous, my heart beats imperfectly, sometimes I act like a clown
In bright colored makeup, to hide my mistakes and the fear that you’ll figure me out
The deep purple sadness that washes my eyelids
I lift them up trying to look at you now
With love on my fingers, I move to deliver, the powerful thing that I felt
I love you, don’t worry, it’s just temporary, my back turned against you at night
A magnetic heat, it released all my demons, I dream that my dreams are on fire
The cool of your breath pulling in pulls me back, I uncurl like a flower in the yellowing light
Your eyes slowly open, two bluebirds arriving to land on the branch of my mind
I love you, forgive me, my suitcase is empty, I lost all the things that I am
Like kissing you tenderly, right off the highway, the back of a gold Astrovan
The best that I have are all things that you gave me, I’ll find a way baby to give them all back
The sky up above and the kindness of love and the truth even when it hurts bad
