VERSE ONE:
hear the
pitter patter of the rain
flitter flatter of butterflies
flurrying skirts, scurrying ants
stumble to their shelter, as do i
moths circling my torchlight
drenched in steam, fever dream
feet stepping one after the other
hopscotching's fun till it's over
but our blankets are awaiting us
the tooth fairy's night shift awakes us
mom says "let her do her work,"
but her hand sneaks under-
pillow forts, hot cocoa
hushed whispers, gold chocolate wrappers
i shared with you, under the moon
"i think i'm full now," full of love
dominos fall, one by one
CHORUS:
are our heartbeats music?
are we songs acoustic?
VERSE TWO:
packing lunchboxes,
hands tucked deep in pockets
eclairs, chocolate explodes in my mouth
popcorn pops in the microwave like fireworks
seesaw at midnight, seesaw called life
lumine's your new name
well-respected, well-brought up
"well done son, keep up the good work."
sunbeams still linger today
the bright side is far, but you're near
a jellyfish sting, a bumblebee sings
a song unheard, is a song left unlearned
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
it's a miracle, a miracle has come
it's a digital age for the newcomers
generation after generation
take something away and add something new
the deaths and births of everyone before us
everyone we'll be
memories dipped in pots of pastels
no room for regret in a house of happiness
(CHORUS)
a song unheard, is a song left unlearned
