Lucy Dacus My Mother & I
[Verse 1]
My mother hates her body
We share the same outline
She swears that she loves mine
I blur at the edges
I'm all soft shapes and lines
Shapeshifting all the time
[Chorus]
The stars have a lot to say
About babies born in the month of May
We are down to Earth
We see eye to eye
We dig our feet in
My mother and I
My mother and I
[Verse 2]
They called me an old soul
When I was too young to know
The difference between a soul and a ghost
I feared what was inside
Trapped in my body kept from the other side
A spirit searching for her second life
[Chorus]
The stars have a lot to say
About women born in the month of May
We want love
Warm and forever
We want to die in the presence of our loved ones
My mother and I
My mother and I
[Outro]
All she has given
All I have taken
All is forgiven
All is forsaken
