lyrics

They tell me I cannot stay long
but I feel like they might be wrong.
I tell them I will go to sleep.
A promise that I cannot keep
because I feel so alive.

I know that he likes this song.
I know because he sings along.
His car smells of sweat and dirt.
I am wearing his favorite-shirt.
I am already a woman.

I know that this cannot be right
but I do not have the strength to fight.
I love my friends and my home
but sometimes I feel so alone.
I think I need a lover.

I remember back when we were talking by the coastline.
Sitting on the broken swings and sipping on some moonshine.
Now I feel like I cannot stay and waste my time on nonsense.
I still do and that seems to be eating at my conscience.

I am already a stranger in my own group.
My thoughts run around in loops.
It is heavy to have a head.
It is heavy to not be dead.
It is heavy to be human.
