Fly
from "Stay Young Forever" by Seaholm
lyrics
a fly is flickering in and out of sight
behind the corner of my windowsill.
if i could clip its wings off and rearrange them
in some other type of pattern i would.
so when the best year of your life faded,
were they as good as you hoped they would be?
when pretending to be sad is progress
it's the only way i know how to be.
so they drew an x on my hand,
no, i don't think i'll be drinking tonight.
i'm waking up early in the morning,
yeah, tomorrow i'm gonna make it all right.
so they drew an x on my hand
so i could stay young forever.
i washed it off the next morning in the shower,
buttoning my shirt as i leave.
behind the corner of my windowsill.
if i could clip its wings off and rearrange them
in some other type of pattern i would.
so when the best year of your life faded,
were they as good as you hoped they would be?
when pretending to be sad is progress
it's the only way i know how to be.
so they drew an x on my hand,
no, i don't think i'll be drinking tonight.
i'm waking up early in the morning,
yeah, tomorrow i'm gonna make it all right.
so they drew an x on my hand
so i could stay young forever.
i washed it off the next morning in the shower,
buttoning my shirt as i leave.
