Subtitles

My sister went to Boston

I stayed behind to rot

I knew you were coming

You couldn't be too far

Winter in California

Nineteen on the heels of my youth

And then there was you

And then there was us and belonging

And mourning the days as they go

And there was regret and a lockdown

I can see that we're not kids now

But I still can't say what I mean

Oh, I need subtitles over me

I moved five times since we met

But never felt at home

We laid on quilted beds

Of summer sweat

We were throwing stones

In the river of unknown

But there was us and belonging

And mourning the days as they go

And I don't forget our pseudo-family

Or asking you to leave

Because I never say what I mean

Oh, I need subtitles over me

Oh, I need subtitles over

Need subtitles over

Oh, I need subtitles over

Need subtitles over

Oh, I need subtitles

Oh, I need subtitles

Oh, I need subtitles

Oh, I need subtitles over me
