lyrics

Golden sun shines on the neighbors' house
cover up the bruises with my blouse
one looks like a tattoo of your name
how I wish my skin could not be changed

By someone like you,
the trees gave birth to new leaves
pale green grew
'round my arms like long sleeves
blue river salt
ground into my bedsheets
cold as a rock
wrapped me up like long sleeves

Golden halo on my hangover
I wish I could scare you like a bird
sitting on the boathouse dock at dawn
I would love you more if you moved on

Forget me do,
the trees gave birth to new leaves
pale green grew
'round my arms like long sleeves
blue river salt
ground into my bedsheets
cold as a rock
wrapped me up like long sleeves
