lyrics

A feather that's looking for fruit
Found an empty sketch book
Can I do anything
but struggling and settling?

From your outstretched arms it was clear
That you could use a volunteer
Despite what you might have heard
Brunette's too strong a word

If love could shrink down everything
All we need are two cans and some string
A shell but I think it suits me
Hold me close and you can hear the sea

Are you good at everything you tried
But you never really specialized
You're book smart, and street smart
and always on the invite
