Worry

I wear my worry around my head just like a crown
and when I take it off, I won't leave it around
You could pick it up
You could put it on and it could be a look
and it's a nightmare
a waking nightmare
It's a nightmare and it'll leave you shook
I wear my horror around my head just like a halo
and if you're tired like I am, please say so
I could catch my breath
You could make a mess and I'd just let it linger
but I am not impressed
no, I am not impressed
You could live it down and I'd still wag a finger
I wear you leaving around my finger like a ring
I leave the windows down so you can hear me sing
You could come around
You could come right back
and I would still be bound
and it's a nightmare
a fucking nightmare
It's a nightmare, but I won't make a sound

Second Death

Braid my hair
I don't want the wind to blow through it
Start the car
Elle swears that she's just gonna lose it
Be a friend
It's a date
Made plans and you're staying up late
Leave alone
He won't even pick up his phone
Be a friend
Second death
I wanna be precious to someone
Do my best
I stumble through love
I am no fun
Be a friend

Magic

|
I won't call no one or no place my home
All of my wonder's been borrowed or blown
Sleeping together is better alone
Come back now, quickly
Just sing what you know
Walk around with me
but please take it slow
Telling the story means spoiling your own
I don't think the magic's there anymore
I don't think the magic's mine to ignore
Wake up and shower
Go put on some clothes
Kiss on the forehead
Wait for the glow
That life's a dream now
Dreams get let go
Tell them you love them
Watch them all grow
When you get tired
once you get old
Tell them my story
Spoil your own
