lyrics

I look at my reflection
in your passenger side window
thinkin how everything
I am, I am is inside this body

no, i don’t believe you have a soul
that doesn’t make you ugly
and I do believe you're irreplaceable
how does it feel being ordinary?

and i’ll live my whole life
under fluorescent lights
waiting for the animal
to drag me out under the stars
paint me with a lilac scar
shake until the memory’s gone

is it the animal inside
that could love you better?
if I didn’t need so much
could I know you better?

cuz she’ll live her whole life
under a necklace of lights
look how it tangles
she doesn't dread the winter
it never does surprise her
she feeds her lover carrion

is there an animal inside
that could love you better?
if I hold you now
will I always be a mother?

cuz I’ll live my whole life
slowing down at yellow lights
learning new ways to come home
but i’m not looking for a new way
to tell you that I’m sorry
and it matters that you were hurtin

there’s relentless
shattering and gathering of light
on the horizon
i’ve looked away before
that felt like dyin
but I saw it through
with a silver thread
I wouldn’t ask you to

and you’ll live your whole life
you'll live a full life
doin standup for your friends
I love the way you say the same thing
everytime we walk through this garden
this is the biggest camila forest
you’ll ever be in
no I won’t forget this
I’ll always need reminding
no I won’t forget
I’ll always need this
