The last time I say you my lightbulb was out
we sat in the half-light hearts caught in our mouth
now I've swallowed mine whole all purple and plain
borrowed and hollowed and shadowed and stained
When I get older my clothes will all fit
I'll fill up my pockets with stones and peach pits
to give to my friends when the going gets rough
heavy with the memory of what it almost was
Take me to the movies
tuck me into be
tell me that you love me
and the world's in my head
if you catch me crying
take me to the sea
leave me on the north shore
it's alright with me
When I get older my clothes will all fit
my friends will all be happy and they won't forget me
