    It’s always hard to leave a place. I know this. I know reward comes from discomfort. And yet I love this home, I love the landing, I love our skylight, I love pretending.

    It’s my first night in New York City. Under the same roof as my brother and sister. Many times over I wished for this moment. I wished for them. But oh, how I miss my yellow teddy, and that soft mattress, and the big brick house, and Anika, hug? and Alexis, I know right.

    Steal my heart
    Hold my hand
    We’re on Decarie
    Lily, this is my favorite band

    Not long after
    I met someone new
    His childlike wonder
    Reminded me of you

    It didn’t take much
    His white picket fence
    I dreamed of this world
    I held it in my hands

    Oh it didn’t take much
    Green eyes on the girl in blue
    Papa I saw it coming
    But there wasn’t much to do

    I’m older now
    And you are too
    You take me around the world
    Papa, I met someone new

    He’s mighty and quick
    Devilish and I feel sick
    And he’s got that same wonder
    Help now I’m undercover

    Yes he steals my heart
    He holds my hand
    But the truth all around us
    A tight noose, a fraying band

    This one I didn’t plan
    But he likes your song
    Even knows your band

    Check under the bed
    Don’t forget the lights
    My swimsuit in the shower
    Your promise dead on site

    The car is here
    Don’t leave me now
    I can’t see in front of me
    Not even the ground

    Nowhere to run
    It’s time to hide
    We’re from the same cloth
    But cloth can be dyed
