"Your Mother's Name" lyrics
"Your Mother's Name"
I guess I lied when I say
I'd take your mother's name
She was so mean, why was I the same?
(Yeah)
Her hands were smaller
Yours were too big for just a girl
But they held me so good, so pretty
With your cracked polish and dirt
Unrequited love is part of being young
But I'm tired of sleeping by a warm gun
That's why your mother cries
That's why she's so fucking mean all the time
Unrequited love is part of being young
Being young, being young
Put my headphones in, listening
To the same sad shit
The stranger across has your same gold cross
But it doesn't suit him
Like your mother's did
Even though you're an atheist
Now I am too 'cause there's no way a God would let me lose you
Unrequited love is part of being young
But I'm tired of sleeping by a warm gun
That's why your mother cries
That's why she's so fucking mean all the time
Unrequited love is part of being young
Being young, being young
It sits like a rock in my liver
And I keep getting sicker
But it can't be undone
It's part of being young
Sleep around, call me a winner
But my love's getting thinner
And I'm coming undone
It's part of being young
Being young, being young
Being young, being young

Esha Tewari - "bad decision!" I'm a bad decision
For you to be making
I'm a bad lover
I'd be a better mother
If I got the chance
If I got the chance
If I got the chance
I get older but I don't get any wiser
I read your letters...
Gigi Perez - "Normalcy" I don't know why I forgive you
I just know that I do
And I guess it's been nice
Hearing from you
You say I should visit
Your place in Austin
You know that I'd love to
But we shouldn't be talking this...
quinnie - "baja bird" It costs a lot of money to go ahead and reinvent yourself
So let's dust off the boxes
Find a shining something sitting on the shelf
Light on the world's wonders
Shines the same through your shutters...
Daffo - "Poor Madeline (Alternative Version)" Rolled her eyes at the room
Wouldn't last, she assumed
Screw the room
Screw the room
Stubbed her toe on the bed
Sore reminder of the home she had
Screw the bed
Screw the bed
Poor Madeline
Poor...
Big Thief - "Real Love" Having a bad week?
Let me touch your cheek
I will always love you
Having your face hit
Having your lip split
By the one who loves you
Real love, real love
Real love makes your lungs black
Real love...
