Lilly Lyrics

Mirror facing mirror, staring at the infinite repeats of myself

Final words of winter linger on the lawn

Pretending that we're married

We always said we would be when we finally grew up

Memories I buried, kids I lived among

The world runs on money

Its matrons have no love for simple and golden and good

It kills me that only in bitter nostalgia can we still go live in the woods

The last time I saw Lilly

we were wide-eyed, we were parallel

The last time I saw Lilly

Was the last time I felt like myself

Face-down on the playground, staring at the face of someone's miracle son

Hero, villain, victim, you're never only one

You're never only one

I needed a reminder, of only you there to make me feel like someone

I floated into nothing, forgot the way it was, forgot the way it was

How could I leave without leaving behind something crucial and fragile and sweet

Nothing inside me was ready to lose all my memories of being free

The last time I saw Lilly

we were wide-eyed, we were parallel

The last time I saw Lilly

Was the last time I

I know there's a reason

It's hard to believe it

I guess that's my weakness

My vision is blurred

But if I go through photos

And see us together

I have to remember, that's still who I am
