It's already June
The light paints you pink
When it breaks through the cherry trees
You shout at the Moon
And lay on your swing
I'm right where I'm meant to be
But the gray moves aside
For the first time in my life
So I think that I got the dosage right
Devil in your blood
A dull unmoored ache
The same one that haunted me
But the bearings could rust
And the circuit could break
If I love you entirely
'Cause I'm finding hope
In the pocket of my winter coat
With your gloves a remindеr that I'm not alone
Scared to my bones
That I won't find a way
To keep you and your brothеr safe
A fire reached the coast
As the sea levels raise
It's like we're circling the drain
The news keeps getting worse
The floods and the drought
There's a mass shooting weekly now
And it feels like a ghost
When we're letting you down
So I'm gonna dig you out
'Cause I'm finding hope
In the pocket of my winter coat
With your gloves a reminder that I'm not alone (that I'm not alone)
And you're brave, so I'm brave
Or I'm trying anyway
Put the work in, plant a garden
Try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat)
I don't wanna die
'Cause I gotta protect you
And you're the reason I can't leave here
The reason I don't want the world to end
I don't wanna die
I wanna light you through your darker months
And I wanna swallow the Sun
Before it can swallow us
'Cause I'm finding hope
In the pocket of my winter coat
With your gloves a reminder that I'm not alone (that I'm not alone)
And you're brave, so I'm brave
Or I'm trying anyway
Put the work in, plant a garden
Try to stay afloat (try to stay afloat, try to stay afloat)
I'm calling home
Hear you laughing
In the afterglow
And the reasons to abandon
All my former ghosts
'Cause you're brave, so I'm brave
Or I'm trying anyway
Put the work in, plant a garden
Try to stay afloat
