about

Music by Alison Hawkins in collaboration with The Swallowtails
Lyrics by Anna Bauer and Alison Hawkins

lyrics

Not afraid to show off those trying teenage years
Scratching velvet to prove she is grown
Stretched and twisted up inside, crying out bad poetry
Spot a comet and try to take it home

One step to meet, one step in mush
Trembling knees, stammer in soot

Tendency of perfectly coloring in lines
An avalanche starting her own slow clap
I want to know her, want to see her seeing me
Breathing fire and ask to join the band

One breath of ease, shake through the pine
Hearts on sleeves, urgency to climb
