I’ll stain solar systems on your heart                                                                                         So any boy who loves you has to conquer the galaxies            Before he can say “that girls mine” I’ll paint forests in  your iris                          So any boy who loves you has to adventure into depths unknown Before he can say “I got lost in her eyes” I’ll draw the sun on your lungs                                                    and the sky on your back                                                                      to teach you that your body is a habitat                                            not a hotel or an                                           ecosystem of forgotten love I’ll write novels on your thighs                                                                        So any boy who loves you has to read between the lines                  Before he can say “I got between those legs” I’ll sketch the stars on your feet                                                            So any boy who loves you can get lost in the milky way                  Before he can say “we go everywhere together” I’ll sculpt the gods on your knees                                                and clouds on your fingers to remind you                                               you can, you will                                                    conquer great things

If I ever have a daughter
I’ll stain solar systems on your heart                                                                                         So any boy who loves you has to conquer the galaxies            Before he can say “that girls mine” I’ll paint forests in  your iris                          So any boy who loves you has to adventure into depths unknown Before he can say “I got lost in her eyes” I’ll draw the sun on your lungs                                                    and the sky on your back                                                                      to teach you that your body is a habitat                                            not a hotel or an                                           ecosystem of forgotten love I’ll write novels on your thighs                                                                        So any boy who loves you has to read between the lines                  Before he can say “I got between those legs” I’ll sketch the stars on your feet                                                            So any boy who loves you can get lost in the milky way                  Before he can say “we go everywhere together” I’ll sculpt the gods on your knees                                                and clouds on your fingers to remind you                                               you can, you will                                                    conquer great things
