Straightening your collar
'Cause you know without your father
You're just unemployed
Dancing on the weekends
Oh, you know you own those sequins
Kissing all the boys
But was it you when the sky turned blue?
When we said, we wouldn't sleep
Until our memories rewind
You say you are an artist
But you know it's just another way
To fit the mold
Twenty different leggings
For that outfit you're perfecting
When it gets too cold
But where are you? The other one of you
The one I met on that day
You moved to town from Michigan
So why did you listen to the kids at Union Pool?
Are they cool?
Do they make you think you're just so unsuitable
So why did you try to fit this caricature
The one you painted back in high school
Of that girl you dreamt to be when you left home
Nursing that hangover with a cup of coffee
You can see me walking by
Turn your head away 'cause you had nothing left to say
So you don't even try
But someday, maybe, we'll just get away
And you will say
This was just another phase in your life
Straightening your collar
'Cause you know without your father
You're just unemployed
Dancing on the weekends
Oh, you know you own those sequins
Kissing all the boys
You say you are an artist
But you know it's just another way
To fit the mold
Twenty different leggings
For that outfit you're perfecting
When it gets too cold
So why did you listen to the kids at Union Pool
Are they cool?
Do they make you think you're just so unsuitable
So why do you try to fit this caricature
The one you painted back in high school
Of that girl you dreamt to be when you left home
