Track 4 off Long, Endless Parade

lyrics

At a party in 2015
You made me feel sixteen all over again
You know I'm real shy but you seem like my type
So I decided to give it a try

Now lately you don't call me baby
You say I'm more like a heart attack
Or maybe more like a shot of whiskey
As you get older I just knock you back

Because I needed that effect
Like a card on every birthday
And a candle for every year

Last night I saw you for the first time
You were in a long line of dark-haired girls
And I asked someone if you were feeling alright
'Cause it looks like you really don't

And they said she's been feeling kind of lonely
Her appetite it just comes and goes
Even when she's hungry it's for something too sweet
She prefers that candy up her nose

And she pretends she doesn't know
All of the calories in cough drops
And all the salt from her tears

I believe what I see
Just not very strongly
I've got nothing to lose but my time

Like an innocent convict
Or a newborn infant
That's just watching the world go by

And I believe what I say
I just say it softly
Like the wind on a summer's night

That whispers to you
When you need to hear it
And tells you everything's going to be just fine
