Penny & Sparrow - Stockholm

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I could be wrong on a number of things
But I've seen Stockholm, I'm enamored with it
Come test me, gotta beat a machine
Reverse John Henry, getting hammered
Let's go out, I'ma be carded now
Come of age, bloody sound
Somebody cauterize my mouth
Now

{Verse 2}
We grew legs first, tail the color of sea
So long sweet comfort, making landfall was hard
I love you, are you thinking of me?
If so, then me, too
If you're waking, sand all these boards down
We can place a house
Make a drink, we can put it down
Neat and all on the rocks
I'm no less confident
I just know less
When I think, all of it, coming down
I could be wrong

{Verse 3}
Anyway, it's okay, I'm sanguine
No matter what y'all can say, I'm changing
How about you 'fess up, get moving?
You are not less in love for losing
Do you feel good? Do you feel it?
My skin crawls under y'all's grip
Ain't it checking out time at the Motorado?
Are they making exceptions?
I just woke
Oh well

{Interlude}
Actually
Late high school, early college
When rabbit fur coat⁠—
⁠—on my tee, I was like, "What?"
