Goodnight

Oh, I take my seat

With my dangling feet

And the lake feels just like it did

When I used to sink

But it's colder now

Or I'm just less fun

'Cause I used to jump in even when

I was the only one

And I was happiest

When I could drown in it

My frantic flutter kicks

Spared me an inch

And I wanna know

Where the broken-legged birds

Dance when they're grown

Or do they all just fly around?

And never land?

Accept they can't?

Now I'm laying out

Underneath the clouds

Scared of scarlet skin

But I'd like it if my hair was a lighter brown

I used to have more friends

We'd explore islands

And we'd jump off cliffs

I always thought I'd die, but I never did

And I was happy then

When I look back on it

I'm still just as broken

It's the way I am

And I wanna know (wanna know)

What the croaking songbirds

Sing once it's a moan (ohh-ohh-ohh)

Or do they just stop crying out?

(Just stop crying out)

No echoing

(No echoing)

Lost in the wind

And I feel frozen again

Is this the start or the end?

I cried (I cried)

On the phone (on the phone)

With my mom

But only for a minute or so

(Or so)

This time because my eyes cried out

(Because my eyes cried out)

I'll be alright

We say goodnight
