Swallows Wings

[Verse 1]
Our kitten claws the window
Like he’s pushing back the dawn
There’s a strange sense that someone is looking in
The still is punctured by the wind chimes

[Verse 2]
I fix the bed covers
You wrap yourself in pink
Write out the to-dos in blue ink
You talk about your dreams
Two foxes headed upstream

[Chorus]
Your face swells up in the morning
With eyes closed like swallows wings
Beanie babies nestled in the duvet
I touch your hair, you roll thе other way
And watch the light on the walls turn into thе day

[Verse 3]
Nausea in the morning of the 4th of July
You planned a visit to the sky blue opening
Tucked in between the branches

[Verse 4]
I’ll bring you the protein bar half at a time
Your cheeks eclipse your eyes when you smile
Putting on your wig
Your head wrapped all in dusty pink
[Chorus]
Your face swells up in the morning
With eyes closed like swallows wings
Beanie babies nestled in the duvet
I touch your hair, you turn the other way

Your face swells up in the morning
With eyes closed like swallows wings
Beanie babies nestled in the duvet
I touch your hair, you turn the other way
And watch the light on the walls turn into the day
