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
Kad se osvrnem natrag, tražeći prste na plastične vrećice
Razmišljam: "Volio bih da mogu izvući malo male namjere
Ili možda samo privucite pažnju na minutu ili dva "
[VERSE 2]
Hoću li umrijeti? Ili ću doći do tog desetogodišnjeg marke?
Gdje sam pobijedio izumiranje Telomera?
A ako to učinim, hoćeš li biti tamo sa mnom, oče, sestro, brate?
[VERSE 3]
Charlie, prestani pušiti
Caroline, hoćeš li biti sa mnom?
Hoće li beba biti u redu?
Hoću li dobiti jedan moj?
Mogu li to podnijeti čak i ako jesam?
To se kaže da mi um
Nije fit, ili su rekli, nose dijete
Valjda ću biti dobro
[VERSE 4]
To nije bila moja ideja, koktel stvari koje uvijaju neurone unutra
Ali bez njih bih umro
Kažu da postoji ironija u muzici, to je tragedija, ja
Ne vidi ništa grčko u njemu
Daj mi mauzolej na Rhode Islandu sa tatom, bakom, djedom i Daveom
Koji se družio sam
Na nebu Nacionalnog parka, sramota je i trenutno plačem
Da te dođem, spasi te, ako uzmem svoj život
Pronađite svoje astralno tijelo, stavite ga u moje ruke
Dajte vam dvije sekunde da plačete
Odvedi te kući, ja ću ti dati ćebe
Vaš duh može sjediti i gledati televiziju pored mene
Uzrok, dušo, ja
Prošao kroz vrijeme kad sam osjetio da to radiš
[VERSE 5]
Nisam mogao podnijeti to, bio sam u Monaku
Nisam mogao čuti šta su rekli telefonom
Morao sam pjevati za princa za dva sata
Sjedio pod tušem
Dao sam se dvije sekunde da plačem
Šteta što umiremo
[VERSE 6]
Kad sam bio petnaest, golih, susjedi susjedstva napravili su pogon
Povukao me struk, duga kosa do strane plaže
Hteo sam da izlazim kao ti, plivam s ribama
Da je uhvatio plaže Rhode Islanda
Ali, ponekad, jednostavno nije vaše vrijeme
[VERSE 7]
Caroline, kakva je ona majka rekla da ću završiti u institucijama?
Sve što sam želio učiniti je poljubiti Aaron Greene i sjediti pored
Jezero, uvijanje vapna u piće koje su napravili
Imaju dupu u šesnaest u gradu, rođen sam i umrijem
[VERSE 8]
Aaron je završio mrtav, a ne ja
Šta je jebote u vašoj glavi da me pošalje, nikad se ne vraćam?
Egzotična mjesta i ljudi ne zauzmu mjesto vašeg djeteta
Dajem sebi dvije sekunde da plačem
[VERSE 9]
Neka se sruši preko mene
Poput talasa u moru
Nazovite me Afroditom, dok se klanjaju mi
[VERSE 10]
Sunbather, Moon Chaser, Kraljica empatije
Dajem sebi dvije sekunde da dišem
I vratite se da budete smještena kraljica
Trebalo mi je samo dvije sekunde da budem ja
