She was dancing, she was smiling

This was blooming in your cheeks

Inner quiet, kind of litany

She accepted from the feet

And then she turned into my arms

Of disgrace, and then repelled

Now she's fallen to her knees,

But you couldn't ever tell


And then, she asked me how we got here

I told her I don't know

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying

So, this isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

But let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and

Pay, don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them (any mind)


Let it burn, as if we'd bothered

We'll make sound based off their eyes

As she closes, just to open

It's some sirens rolling by

And as she's off to tell her secret

To her friends somewhere in town

And her friend just takes a moment

And that's why I'm not around


Darling, this is something

I should have told you long ago

I just want you to feel safe

I just want to make you glow

But how you glowed when we were young

And with nothing on our minds

When you jump, for your love

Baby you're nothing long of time


And then, she asked me how we got here

I told her I don't know

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying

So, this isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

But let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and

Pay, don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind


Why did we have to, go further every time


Some days you hear it (don't listen, I'll carry you)

Some days you don't (to the universe we'll never go)

Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me)

Sometimes you won't


Just calm yourself and

Pay, don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now don't you pay them any mind
