lyrics

Alarms harass me awake
On the bus again
Back to my old comforts
Secured by blood
And fondness
No matter where I go.
I find my way back here
We each have our unique quirks,
and places where we feel like an older version of ourselves

I come back to you
When I’m scared
I’m a child, in an adult body
I come to you
I come to you
Always, eventually

I need my blue blanket
You need a warm shower
So we can feel at home in our bodies
In many years, I hope we still hold hands on this same beach.
I’m a stunted seed in the soil,
People are pouring water onto me, but I just can’t grow yet.
It’s a shame how comfortable we can get, staying in one place

I come back to you
When I’m scared
I’m a child, in an adult body
I come to you
I come to you
Always, eventually

It’s ok
What comforting words
It’s all ok
What untrue words
But you make it, ok, enough
I come to you
I come to you
