I want to get better
no, I want to feel that dizzy spinning medicine
rising up along my spine and turning everything
into rolling moonlines following my eyes

I only need to change
if I can't even laugh when I'm drunk anymore

I wear all the flowers
I never lie
I'm your baby girl, stumbling and clinging to your side
I stare sick at the shape of men's shadows in the streetlights
when I scrape my knees on the asphalt my smile is wild and your hands
could be all over me but right now they just hold mine

give me one more shot for courage
before you open up my insides
