(2014)
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
