I look up to Jupiter
She sees me in Saturn
Her heart beats like a pattern
Or something less mechanical
Our veins mapped out like subway cars
And how'd you think they get so far when everything's in motion
And I'm feeling kinda rushed, kid
I'm 21 and useless
It's a good thing I get manic a couple minutes every hour
'Cause everything is messy
The world is full of broken things
I still love it
And no one stands above it
And if I joined a party and I'll start hanging out less
Do you think anyone will notice?
There's lilacs in my body
The pictures all move freely
Life's like bigger screens that you can watch without me
Can you see the seasons leaving?
Well, everything is changing
And everyone's always changing
Except this Allston basement
I'm 21, I hate this
I'm alone and I am weightless
The northeast is my cradle
The woodlands feed me maples
You'll do grad school in Seattle and I'll stay here forever
And one day you'll remember
Waking up over and over
It's a pretty vivid picture that your aunt gave you for Christmas
'Cause you asked for a different sweater
Something more your color
Something for that weather when you're cold and in bed later
The thunder outside is crying
But the rain is pouring upwards
And as you step outside you lose
Your mind, your shirt, balloons with water
You thought about that album
Called "Love and Long Lost Children"
Called "Mother Nature's Daughter"
Called "No One's Ever Known Her"
And you will float to heaven
And you'll count to 27
And you'll awake again at 50
And I wonder if you're lonely
