lyrics

May is for meteor showers
I’m sleeping with the ticks tonight
The milk moon has all but soured
The feel of my room like an empty old pint

So pour yourself a drink
And say what you think
I know I’m not what you wanted me to be
And what does that mean?

May is for mother’s day
And pitch pines with measured ambition
I wish I could hear what you’re trying to say
But instead I hunt for what’s missing

So cut yourself some slack
And please take care of your back
I’ll find the words to say to
Hold us over if only till next May

No, you don’t know me now
But you knew me before this change
Blonde hair and buck teeth,
A phobia of vomiting

And you were my shining sun
You gave light to the rain
You must have seen some part of me in the yellow paint
