Emmy The Great - Phoenixes lyrics
[Emmy The Great - Phoenixes lyrics]
Cross country nebraska, nevada
The phoenix has to leave it's nest but
Change is good for some
It is not good for others
First there were five, then there four
Leaf, he changed his colours, that's for sure
River was your favourite his eyes were aqua
He's in our history now like Cleopatra
And you
My screen grab beauty queen
Typing something out in green
Like we were seventeen
When we first met we read bliss
Soon we were too old for this
We though that weight loss was survival
We thought that vogue was french for bible
Up on the wall we put them all
Leaf, he changed his colours, that's for sure
River was your favourite his eyes were aqua
He's in our history now like Cleopatra
And you
My screen grab beauty queen
Typing something on the screen
Like we were seventeen
River, rain, summer, leaf and liberty
And you my screen grab beauty queen
Are you working out your next life dream?
Like we were seventeen
