"Neon Summer Skin" lyrics

"Neon Summer Skin"

I swear it wasn't long
That I was just someone's little fool
Stepping out the pool
To a towel wrapped around my tired arms

I was so small
Yet nothing at all
Could alarm me
But, oh, everybody's older now

Oh, everybody's older now

Wrangled in the bath
Beads of water
Down my tangled hair
And my neon summer skin
Chalky eyes still blushing from the chlorine

It never portend
It ever would end
But, oh, everybody's older now

Oh, everybody's older now

And so it goes
We'd never know
Never suspect

Tucked into her room
Heavy as my hand
My sleepy daughter
Never thinking once
Of her safety only
Twilight in the water
