Straightening your collar
'Cause you know without your father
You're just unemployed


Dancing on the weekends
Oh, you know you own those sequins

Kissing all the boys

But was it you when the sky turned blue?

When we said, we wouldn't sleep
Until our memories rewind


You say you are an artist
But you know it's just another way
To fit the mold


Twenty different leggings
For that outfit you're perfecting

When it gets too cold

But where are you? The other one of you

The one I met on that day
You moved to town from Michigan


So why did you listen to the kids at Union Pool?
Are they cool?
Do they make you think you're just so unsuitable


So why did you try to fit this caricature
The one you painted back in high school

Of that girl you dreamt to be when you left home

Nursing that hangover with a cup of coffee

You can see me walking by
Turn your head away 'cause you had nothing left to say
So you don't even try


But someday, maybe, we'll just get away
And you will say

This was just another phase in your life

Straightening your collar

'Cause you know without your father
You're just unemployed


Dancing on the weekends
Oh, you know you own those sequins
Kissing all the boys


You say you are an artist
But you know it's just another way

To fit the mold

Twenty different leggings

For that outfit you're perfecting
When it gets too cold


So why did you listen to the kids at Union Pool
Are they cool?
Do they make you think you're just so unsuitable


So why do you try to fit this caricature
The one you painted back in high school

Of that girl you dreamt to be when you left home
