On a car ride with your family, forehead stuck to the window Hoping you could morph into it, Move through life as fast as the other cars on the highway but right now none of it matters because you can’t see your own reflection in the widow When I catch myself saying I want us to be OK I wonder if we ever were. You get headaches because you looked up at the sky too long Nobody but you and me can put that into a song If I can’t see myself, then Surely, you can’t see me either. Isn’t that how the laws of reflection work? And if I can't love myself, maybe you can’t either? Isn’t that the law of attraction ? Not sure, maybe google it when you have a minute to yourself. Maybe write it down when your bracelets leave enough room to put your pain on paper. When I catch myself saying I want us to be OK I wonder if we ever were. You get headaches because you looked up at the sky too long Nobody but you and me can put that into a song Listen to James my brothers say, it’ll heal your soul and eat you alive at the same time Listen to James and Jasmine and Kat and don’t forget to brush your hair in between songs Don’t forget to brush your hair cause Mom will notice But you can go out whenever you want because dad won’t Smoke a James sister says, smoke until your lungs catch fire, but not the house we grew up in cause then people would call us the T-word There, I told you everything… Go home and touch some grass now, the car has stopped, enjoy the sun and each other.
