  • Someday, I'm gonna live
    In your house up on the hill
    And when your skinhead neighbor goes missing
    I'll plant a garden in the yard, then
    They're gluing roses on a flatbed
    You should see it
    I mean thousands
    I grew up here 'til it all went up in flames
    Except the notches in the door frame

    I don't know when you got taller
    See our reflection in the water
    Off a bridge at the Huntington
    I hopped the fence when I was seventeen
    Then I knew what I wanted

    And when I grow up
    I'm gonna look up from my phone and see my life
    And it's gonna be just like
    My recurring dream
    I'm at the movies
    I don't remember what I'm seeing
    The screen turns into a tidal wave
    Then it's a dorm room
    Like a hedge maze
    And when I find you, you touch my leg
    And I insist
    But I wake up before we do it

    I don't know how but I'm taller
    It must be something in the water
    Everything's growing in our garden
    You don't have to know that it's haunted

    The doctor put her hands over my liver
    She told me my resentment's getting smaller
    No, I'm not afraid of hard work
    I get everything I want
    I have everything I wanted Writer/s: Christian Lee Hutson, Marshall Vore, Phoebe Bridgers
