...and i miss you like bonfires
rainstorms and childhood
teddy-bears
when i moved into my new house
on my pillow there was
a strand of your hair
clinging desperately
if there's a word to describe
how i feel about you
i don't know if i could pronounce it
but you're filling up my head
with sea-foam green and light blues
i don't know how else to say
i miss you too
so now i'm clinging desperately

Skiing Trip

one day i'm going to put you in a book
and you will know what character you are
and you're going to wonder if your character makes any friends
and if the story ever ends
but i don't think that that would be too realistic
but now you're on a skiing trip with your mom
and i'm in my room listening to atom bombs
inside my head
and in that story your character goes to bed
with a million letters to me under her head
and you're going to wonder if she ever gets them sent
and if your character makes any friends
but i don't think that that would be too realistic
cause now you're on an airplane on christmas vacation
and i missed my bus at the bus station
i guess i'll wait another hour
or i'll just go home
and in the final scene your character floats away
in a hot air balloon with way too much left to say
and i'll stand below waving my hands
wondering how high up you can possibly go
but i don't think that either of us will ever know
cause now you're on a skiing trip with your mom
and i'm in my room listening to atom bombs
inside my head
you've got a sparkle in your mouth
and i don't think it's the wine
i want to make you spit it out
make you laugh all the time
you've got a sparkle in your mouth
and i don't think it's the wine
i want to make you spit it out
make you cry all the time
but now you're on a skiing trip with your mom
and i'm in my room listening to atom bombs
inside my head
ba ba da dum da da dum

i've said this to her before, but metagirl's music is cinematic, genuine, and gentle while also always being irresistibly catchy. i am always looking out for what Elora is going to do next.
