Before Your Time
By Sarah Slean
Album: Blue Parade
Who wants a genius anyway
who worries if he's had enough sleep
i'd take the bad news any day
if it meant you were mine to keep
sweet is the certified nercous wreck
who now and then likes to appear
to lecture the night and the empty space and sleep in the cradle of my ear
a few pills a day keeps the anger away
"the people can go" he says,
"the furniture stays"
trying to find a warm place to hide
maybe born before your time
how unfair to our human eyes
how i wish you were alright
cause i worry...
hello to the ghost of the eighty-eight
my favorite Canadian mess
remembered the sound of the galaxy
and came here expecting no less
how many nights did you lock up inside of that
terrible lonely streak
and those beautiful eyes
tryng to find, a warm place to hide
maybe born before your time
how unfair to our human eyes
how I wish you were alright
'cause I worry
about you
