If I asked you to build me a grand canyon
Would you tell the truth for once this time
Sidekick I'll runaway from the stars at night to find
There's waterunder your belly and I've got a key to find
Have you ever put your head under water for too long
Have you ever felt your heart sting
So deep it was like a song
And did you forget to tell your father you loved him
And if you sat down with me for dinner
Would you pretend that you were fine?
Tie me down and keep my hand away from the trees
Buckle up and whisper to me I'll buckle my knees
Pretend that you can't find me
When we were playing hide and seek
I don't wanna know a life without the beach
Interruption is a form of discussion withyourself
Precipitate back down onto my belt
Loop me around your waist
I'll wait for you to say
You're ready to be undone
Mouth me what you meant to say to me
Spell it out without spellcheck for me someday
I sure hope to find it in the mail next week
Don't forget to say happy birthday to me
I found a birdnest by the sidewalk
I thought it must kinda hurt to live like that
Now, here I am sitting in New York City
Whens the next time my toes will touch the sand
Fly away with me
I'll keep track of time, just fine
And if we dont I'll sure make sure that we get a ride
Shout out what you really really love about yourself
I'll make sure to never let you change that
Consistency is nice as well
