lyrics

i didn’t read comic books
i watched Power Rangers
and a neighborhood
confronting dangers like
rock-men and making friends
eyes peeled till the episode ends
sucking my thumb cause i could afford it
nap inside my dad’s t-shirt while he wore it

think i turned ten and my head got sick
my head got sick, my head got sick
think i turned ten and my head got sick
body’s been combatting ever since

i’d always wait till my cereal got soggy
dishes in the sink getting cloggy
red sweatpants-er, kitchen dancer
i owe any of my nuance to live James Taylor
eggs scrambled, nose runny
roll around the ground when my town got sunny
front yard, momma calling me honey
my sister had a stuffed bunny named bunny
and i always thought, the church smelled funny

think i turned ten and my head got sick
my head got sick, my head got sick
think i turned ten and my head got sick
body’s been combatting ever since

that feeling really wowed me out
wowed me out

bunk beds, play dates
chocolate sauce in vanilla milkshakes
swim pond for your birthday
8:15 we were staying up late
having a catch, having a talk
throwing fits, throwing rocks
chicken patties, chicken pox
playing outside till there’s snow in my socks
and i’d come back in, and my brother’d stay out
but my very favorite part about
the winter was taking off my gloves
and touching my face
cause that feeling always wowed me out
wowed me out
that feeling always wowed me out
wowed me out
