Red Cherry Chapstick
[Verse 1]
Red cherry chapstick lingers outside the hall
Cheap packing plastic is building up my walls
It's getting harder to make it when everybody waits their turn
It's getting harder to take it, so we sit back and watch it burn
[Verse 2]
Red cherry chapstick catches you when you fall
Vocal gymnastics picks you up when you're small
And if you're starting to question everything you thought you knew
It takes a little digestion to put everything into view
[Chorus]
Can you stay there for now?
So I, I can balance it out
I'm spinning up and down and around
'Cause I, I can't figure it out
Now your cherry chapstick's gone
[Verse 3]
Red cherry chapstick lingers on the edge of my lips
Ghosts in my attic clinging by their fingertips
And if you think that you made it
Turn around and get in line
Maybe you were mistaken
You told me "Everything will be fine"
[Chorus]
Can you stay there for now?
So I, I can balance it out
I'm spinning up and down and around
'Cause I, I can't figure it out
Now your cherry chapstick's gone
