Lovers - Kid Quiet lyrics

rate me

tears of white and grey fall upon your handle-bars and

mix in with the rain. oh what a day. you'd never seen a

brighter star, you'd never be the same. cause when we

touch, the shadow of a bicycle is no more beautiful than

us. so at dusk, meet me on old summer road in the autumn

cold to talk. kid genius, you built me a radio, said when

i feel alone, turn it on, and i'll find you there

somewhere with a tinfoil smile or like a star. with no

one ever there you'd laugh each time they didn't care but

now your sides ache and i came too late. with glitter in

your eyes you'd laugh each time you would've cried but

now your sides ache. you laughed until the tears came.

and now you've gone away, and in a little room i dream of

you and the picture in my brain doesn't fade like the

circles of a radio signal float out into space. and

before you lfet you came and hung a string of lights

around my bike as i slept. a sweet planet where fireflies

zoom like a hundred moons around your room in orbit is my

wish, and a ten-foot-tall mirror-ball hung from city

hall. and good magic. my constellation kid, i plotted the

routes you'd traveled through and the line i drew

connnecting it made a clear image of a lightening bold

through your childhood home, like the stories told on

your wrist. tears of white and grey. i'll never see a

brighter star.
