Fort Frances Plastic Hearts
everything gets broken
everything turns golden
the city keeps us waiting
you can watch me folding
the day into pieces big enough to break
some seasons i just cannot shake
we are all working for something we hope we can save
what i wouldn't give for a plastic heart
that knows how to live faster than i've ever learned
there's no shame in slowing down
i bet your mother is proud
of how you've learned to turn this up
loud enough to drown the noise
of all the boys who broke your heart
when you were seventeen
staring at covers of magazines
we are all dreaming of people we will never be
what i wouldn't give for a plastic heart
that knows how to live faster than i've ever learned
there's no shame in slowing down
you keep california underneath your
dress me in my sunday it's
best if i don't say a word
what i wouldn't give for a plastic heart
that knows how to live faster than i've ever learned
there's no shame in slowing down
