When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
Or maybe just get your attention for a minute or two"

When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
Or maybe just get your attention for a minute or two"
[Verse 2]
Will I die? Or will I get to that ten-year mark?
Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?
And if I do, will you be there with me, Father, Sister, Brother?
[Verse 3]
Charlie, stop smoking
Caroline, will you be with me?
Will the baby be alright?
Will I have one of mine?
Can I handle it even if I do?
It's said that my mind
Is not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
I guess I'll be fine
[Verse 4]
It wasn't my idea, the cocktail of things that twists neurons inside
But without them, I'd die
They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy, I
See nothing Greek in it
Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Dave
Who hung himself real high
In the National Park sky, it's a shame and I'm crying right now
To get to you, save you, if I take my life
Find your astral body, put it into my arms
Give you two seconds to cry
Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
Cause, baby, I
Ran through a time when I felt you were doing it
[Verse 5]
I couldn't handle it, I was in Monaco
I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone
I had to sing for the prince in two hours
Sat in the shower
Gave myself two seconds to cry
It's a shame that we die
[Verse 6]
When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
But, sometimes, it's just not your time
[Verse 7]
Caroline, what kind of mother was she to say I'd end up in institutions?
All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Greene and sit by
The lake, twisting lime into the drinks that they made
Have a babe at sixteen in the town I was born in, and die
[Verse 8]
Aaron ended up dead and not me
What the fuck's wrong in your head to send me away, never to come back?
Exotic places and people don't take the place of being your child
I give myself two seconds to cry
[Verse 9]
Let it crash over me
Like the waves in the sea
Call me Aphrodite, as they bow down to me
[Verse 10]
Sunbather, moon chaser, queen of empathy
I give myself two seconds to breathe
And go back to being a serene queen
I just needed two seconds to be me
Ko se ozrem nazaj, sledenje prstom nad plastičnimi vrečkami
Mislim: "Želim si, da bi ekstrapoliral nekaj majhnega namena
Ali pa morda samo pritegnite svojo pozornost minuto ali dve
[Verz 2]
Bom umrl? Ali pa bom prišel do tiste desetletne oznake?
Kje sem premagal izumrtje telomerov?
In če bom, boš zraven z mano, oče, sestra, brat?
[Verz 3]
Charlie, nehaj kaditi
Caroline, boš z mano?
Bo dojenček v redu?
Bom imel enega svojega?
Ali lahko to rešim, tudi če to storim?
Rečeno je, da moj um
Ni primerno, ali tako so rekli, da bi nosili otroka
Mislim, da bom v redu
[Verz 4]
To ni bila moja ideja, koktajl stvari, ki zasukajo nevrone v notranjosti
Toda brez njih bi umrl
Pravijo, da je v glasbi ironija, to je tragedija, jaz
V njem ne glej nič grščine
Dajte mi mavzolej na Rhode Islandu z očetom, babico, dedkom in Daveom
Ki se je obesil zelo visoko
Na nebu nacionalnega parka je škoda in zdaj jočem
Da pridem do vas, vas reši, če si vzamem življenje
Poiščite svoje astralno telo, ga dajte v roke
Dajte vam dve sekundi za jok
Odpeljite te domov, jaz, dal ti bom odejo
Vaš duh lahko sedi in gleda televizijo ob moji strani
Vzrok, dojenček, jaz
Tekel skozi čas, ko sem začutil, da to počneš
[Verz 5]
Nisem se mogel spoprijeti, bil sem v Monaku
Nisem slišal, kaj so rekli po telefonu
V dveh urah sem moral peti za princa
Sedel pod tušem
Dal si dve sekundi, da sem jokal
Škoda, da umremo
[Verz 6]
Ko sem bil star petnajst let, goli, sosedi v bližini so se vozili
Potegnil me je za pas, dolge lase do plaže
Hotel sem iti ven kot ti, plavati z ribami
Da se je ujel na plažah Rhode Island
Toda včasih to preprosto ni tvoj čas
[Verz 7]
Caroline, kakšna mati je rekla, da bi končala v institucijah?
Vse, kar sem želel, je bilo, da poljubim Aarona Greena in sedim mimo
Jezero, ki je zasukal apno v pijače, ki so jih naredili
Imejte babe pri šestnajstih v mestu, v katerem sem se rodil, in umreti
[Verz 8]
Aaron je končal mrtev in ne jaz
Kaj za vraga je narobe v glavi, da me pošljete stran, da se ne vrnete?
Eksotični kraji in ljudje ne zasedejo mesta, da bi bili vaš otrok
Dajem si dve sekundi za jok
[Verz 9]
Naj se zruši nad mano
Kot valovi v morju
Pokliči me afrodita, ko se mi priklonijo
[Verz 10]
Sunbather, Moon Chaser, kraljica empatije
Dajem si dve sekundi, da diham
In se vrnite k temu, da ste spokojna kraljica
Samo dve sekundi sem potreboval, da sem
