"Around You" lyrics

"Around You"

Underage on the pavement, streetlight as spotlight
Silent block, sidewalk seat
Pulling, picking weeds
Tell me all of it
You downplay the weight by talking quick
While I braid your hair with my hands
Everywhere I look, there is a river
A notebook float that I live on
We gawk and laugh
Our lips are the same color through the blue glass

The light just wants to hang around you
Time capsules already sorted through

And in the girls room, hip to hip
A circle of I admit
I, I just want to hang around you
Do you?
I just want to hang around you

I made a magazine
I left off our names
I hid one in the toilet stall
Sprinkled a few in the hall
Stole the book about
Your favorite band
By throwing it out of the school library's window
You said you got a ticket from speeding to see me
That whole summer, we wrote letters like Anaïs and Henry

You left some things unsaid
And I liked you more for that

And in the girls room, hip to hip
A circle of I admit
I, I just want to hang around you
I just want to hang around you
Do you?

Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
