Humid June 02:39
Humid June What a humid June Something's gotta give soon And we haven't even got to the hard part No, we haven't even got to the hard part The first summer I let the sun at me It turned me into a topography of myself I said "Is this what it feels like to be on top? To fear more and more and more the drop?" Misspelt my aim Humid June What a humid June Gnats hell bent on suicide in my eyes Every irritant more amplified Humid June List of saints in a cahier in my carryon Kinda quaint how I really wanna be someone Be someone someone hasn't been before But every time I grind my teeth against the alphabet I make my name further into an epithet Everyone wants what they can't have What I want is for you to want to be me What I want is for you to want to be me What I want is for you to want to be me I don't wanna be me But I want you to want to be me Humid June What a humid June Something's gotta give soon And we haven't even got to the hard part No, we haven't even got to the Haven't got to the- We kept asking for rain, it never came We kept asking for rain, it never came We kept asking for rain, it never came
