lyrics

It's cut grass baby
There's no better high
Than the windows open with you by my side
Turn the radio on
We don't pick a song
The light plays a wild game
Then disappears
For so long

We take a wrong turn
Down the cul-de-sac
Now we're playing hopscotch
Without looking back
Have the sprinkler on
Cause it's hot again
Our exhaust fumes trail as we head
As we head
To town

I'll be your exhaust fume baby
I'll be the balloon at your birthday party
I'll take a buttercup chin dare
I'll roll in the grass til my hair gets messy
I'm on your video game team
Cats at my feet as I start to read
A ruffled skirt and a dandelion
I'll get a summer time best friend

I'll tell you about whatever you want to know
Keep talking, don't ask
I'll keep it inside
It won't grow

I was a dolphin
I was a mermaid
I was a swimmer
I lived a dream
I stared at fire
and I swam in the cool lake
Was mesmerized by the subtlest things
I was a reader
I was a panther
I ruled a kingdom
I could be mean
I was a witch and
I was a wild storm
But I was never
Quite what I seemed

Didn't feel what danger was 'til they told me
Didn't see myself as a separate thing
Didn't know what pretty was 'til they told me
Didn't know a girl was a thing you could be
