we were girls together picking daisies
now we are 17 with bruised knuckles
and a heaviness in our eyes we are too young to understand
I know how to speak now but i do not know how to live
lets just pick daisies one last time
we can put the petals on our eyes and sprinkle pollen in our hair
lets be girls again
lets exist with no apology armed on our tongues
let us live just because we can
