lyrics

My mother was born as a gypsy moth
My father was born as a man
My sister was born as a tiger shark
And I was born as a lamb

My mother waited for weekends
My father waited for 4pm
My sister waited for the sun to go down
I waited for time not to pass

Birthdays and deathdays and parties
Dancing alone in the yard
Dreamt up a brother who pushed me on a swing
With a delicate arm

Made up the words before I learned how to read
Took it all over and the ship
Sailed away with it

Go write your teacher a letter
You know the one
Tell them "Thank you for steering"
When you couldn't trust the auto

Picture them reading it
In your voice say
"Before you go and diminish yourself
Hold on"
Hold on
Hold on
