Holly Henry paper clips

Select language to translate this lyric

wear your teeth, pretend you're 18
maybe when you're tall you won't be scared of anything
like hell waiting down below
odd that you thought you'd go
better touch all the table tops
and count all of the garden rocks
out through the mouth, pretend you're 18
maybe when you're grown, this will all have been a dream
the bathroom mirror, the stucco walls
the devil waiting in the hall
the pretty wind and quiet snow
paperclips all in a row
life has tripped you up by your laces
they thought maybe you would stop with these phases
you came to a full stop in the races
'cause life, it's just tripped you up by your laces
by your laces
talk weather, like you're 18
bandaging your background like you're bleached clean
the waiting room, the hollow gaze
the acceptance of fleeting faith
the kids wearing their summer glow
your paperclips all in a row
'cause life has tripped you up by your laces
they thought maybe you would stop with these phases
you came to a full stop in the races
'cause life, it's just tripped you up by your laces
life has tripped you up by your laces
they thought maybe you would stop with these phases
you came to a full stop in the races
'cause life, it's just tripped you up by your laces
by your laces
the kids wearing their summer glow
your paperclips all in a row
