[Intro]
The sunlight stabs my eyes
There’s birds perching on the powerlines
I wonder if you woke in someone’s arms
And if you’d ever consider mine

[Verse 1]
The swaying shades of acacias
In flower arrangements suggest
That it’s time for me to be a man
Or else with what regrets
Would I be left to live forever

[Verse 2]
The sky hangs undisturbed like a static pond
Oh world, may you be preserved just as you are when I return
The scent of evening air is cinnamon sweet here
But it’s lost on my lungs breathing in

[Outro]
The sunlight stabs my eyes
(It stabs my eyes)
There’s ferns running up the traffic signs outside
(Outside)
I tell the ether all of my desires and she says
“Maybe another time”
