lyrics

I’ve got friends
I’ve got mothers and fathers
who love me and I think I’m lucky
Sometimes I feel so alone
it’s like it’s make believe
tell me to go back home
You know my fears
and I know you too

You got mad at me
when I booked a flight one time
So me and my friend took a boat
to an island instead

I’m like a cat
if you pull my tail I’ll run away
But I’ll be sad in the other room
that you couldn’t wait around

Baby I know you’re sensitive as glue
you just want more to know the things I do
I’m a daughter
I think your birthmarks are like the night sky
Fixed and turning
and something I can draw lines between

I’m like a cat
if you leave the door cracked
I’ll come and widen it

I’ll leave my ears open against the wall
I’ll do my best not to assume the worst when you call
There will always be places to crawl and you’ll be looking at me
With those wide eyes, with those wide eyes

You know there’ll be days when I’ll slink away
I’ll study the shadows you leave with your face in the lamplight
I’ll speak to your insomnia and I’ll jump on you all night
and make you feel better for not dreaming
I will hold impossible anxieties with one look
In those wide eyes, with those wide eyes
With those wide eyes, with those wide eyes

I’m like a cat
if you wait for me, I’ll come to you
And I’ll lay my weight upon you
‘til you’re not afraid
