I'm in love with a boy Who makes me feel like fried chicken on a sunday Like the Meat That I don't eat I'm an animal I'm colossal I'm the ballrooms in his eyes I'm in love with a boy who makes me feel Like pancakes on a weekday We don't do that In my family We do grapefruit cereal oatmeal We do not do orange juice ever I'm in love with a boy Like honey in my tea To take away the bitter Take away the hunger Amplify the wonder And the way we grew together All the tangles All the thunder All the things I never let you-- All the things I should have said to you I'm in love with a boy Who feels like sin in the morning And sweet all the time Like violence at night And the freckles on his shoulders call me with words he'd never be able to find Words that make me blind The way he makes me feel is like the sun in my eyes I'm in love with a boy like peaches in the summertime And apples in the fall He makes me feel like all the songs I've never played All the cobblers I should have baked I'm my apron I am taken I'm the muffins that I baked him I'm in love with a boy who makes me feel like candles on a birthday cake Right after they hit the lights And the sparkle When the flames jump to the birthday girl's hair And the scare And the faces of the parents All the horrified stares I'm the 30 unburnt pieces, 45 guests It's never enough It's always too much But I'm in love with this boy He makes me feel Like robbing a bank and making a clean get away And worn out boots with no soles From running hard and running fast He makes me feel like guns And a red hot sun And the worst blisters of my life Like fleeing in the night and I'm your girl, right? I'm in love with that boy like the first day he saw me I'm in love with our mythology and I want him to know I'm still that girl It's still that first day

A Boy, Not a Man
I'm in love with a boy Who makes me feel like fried chicken on a sunday Like the Meat That I don't eat I'm an animal I'm colossal I'm the ballrooms in his eyes I'm in love with a boy who makes me feel Like pancakes on a weekday We don't do that In my family We do grapefruit cereal oatmeal We do not do orange juice ever I'm in love with a boy Like honey in my tea To take away the bitter Take away the hunger Amplify the wonder And the way we grew together All the tangles All the thunder All the things I never let you-- All the things I should have said to you I'm in love with a boy Who feels like sin in the morning And sweet all the time Like violence at night And the freckles on his shoulders call me with words he'd never be able to find Words that make me blind The way he makes me feel is like the sun in my eyes I'm in love with a boy like peaches in the summertime And apples in the fall He makes me feel like all the songs I've never played All the cobblers I should have baked I'm my apron I am taken I'm the muffins that I baked him I'm in love with a boy who makes me feel like candles on a birthday cake Right after they hit the lights And the sparkle When the flames jump to the birthday girl's hair And the scare And the faces of the parents All the horrified stares I'm the 30 unburnt pieces, 45 guests It's never enough It's always too much But I'm in love with this boy He makes me feel Like robbing a bank and making a clean get away And worn out boots with no soles From running hard and running fast He makes me feel like guns And a red hot sun And the worst blisters of my life Like fleeing in the night and I'm your girl, right? I'm in love with that boy like the first day he saw me I'm in love with our mythology and I want him to know I'm still that girl It's still that first day
For everyone who has ever had their heart broken
