when i was a little boy
i had dreams i was a girl
when my mother told me no
i became uncomfortable
when i went to sunday school
the room i was in was so cold
when the preacher praised the lord
i raised my hands and said amen
when i smoked behind the school
my friends and i felt so cool
when the cops came and took us away
i cried in the backseat of the car
when i got kicked out of the house
i slept on my best friends couch
when i couldn't pay the rent
i cut my hair in the sink
growing up and birds and bees and
silly things that you whispered to me
underneath our climbing tree
where you took my legs out from under me and screamed
even giants trip on their feet
even god knows absolutely nothing
even the grass feels blue at times
even geniuses lose their minds sometimes
nothing will be how i want it to be
nothing ever works for me
so pack your bag and leave a note
we're going back to san francisco
