lyrics

I took a second-rate photograph
Of a melted time and place, of a forgotten laugh
My old backyard was empty and overgrown
My screen was blue and dizzy
On my telephone

When you told me there would be a waterfall
All I ever really did was dive in
Now I know what it means to young
Even if my age was always nothing

Walk out
And leave me to a death that I need now
I can't believe the solar panels—wow
Tricked me into drinking

I came in second place for a day
Found myself erased with my bed unmade
I might pick up the pace—I might forfeit
Pull my name from this race
It's hard to admit

When you broke the news that your body had changed
I lied awake inside the water staring
I unraveled inside of my eyes inflamed
And for myself I need that to be something

Walk out
And leave me to a death that I need now
I can't believe the solar panels—wow
Tricked me into thinking
