'cuz the alarm is sounding

and you're cutting out

and i can't hear you momma

i can't figure your message out

write this message down

i said write this message down

you keep on alluding

a game of hide and seek

and i'll keep trying momma

but sometimes it's better

if we don't speak

'cuz i remember turning my head

another late night in bed

i guess i'll be singing,

myself to sleep

if i go slipping

down the side of my tongue

i just might think i've won

this time, 'cuz you're watching

me from the corner, so i'll

turn my head..

and it's september, so will

you come bearing gifts, i

promise to do my chores so quick if

you just come outside, it's

time to go swimming

and i'll slide swift into the water

just so, just so you'll turn

your head do you remember when

we were swimming nearly everyday
