Family Tapes

You roll your pretty eyes at me
 I know you see things that I don't see
 I'd like to wrap myself around you for a while
 Your parents taught you how to dance
 How to tie your shoes and roll your pants
 I've always thought that I just can't
 Sometimes I feel trapped in my head
 In a world of grey and blue and red
 I'd like to rest my heavy head down for a while
 So often in panic mode
 I breath and I sing and I kiss with my eyes closed
 I'd like to let my heavy thoughts go for a while
 You pulled out your family tapes
 To digitalize, to reacquaint
 Hours and hours of lazy Saturdays
 Your brother looked me in the face
 And stole me with his bright blue gaze
 I'm so happy he stayed
 I saw the homeless man
 Checking out the Mercedes Benz
 Everything was hilarious to me then
 Cause I fight and fight it you see:
 Health, unconditional love and good sleep
 He's no different than me; We're all just fighting to be free
