(2014)
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
