Strawberry

In the midst of the summer you came and changed California
Even befriended bandit, I didn’t think that could happen
And in the morning, in the backyard
You’re the prettiest lifeguard
Coffee sipping in the kitchen, I wish I knew what I was missing

Why do I never appreciate the good that comes in my life?
You said that I’d never change, I promised you that I tried
Wish I could bring you to the beach and never lose my car keys
Still feel you in the passenger seat
Silently staring back at me
Silently staring back at me

(After all of this time, how could I not change your mind?)

I wanna kiss you, blow a bubble, make your gums pop
Tilting back your head to catch the eyedrops
First it was to hide the marbling red, but now you’re just crying on me again

I wanna kiss you, blow a bubble, make your gums pop
Your blowy nose is getting blood on your new tank top
Strawberry, I know you’ve got your own life
And I won’t stop, I won’t stop you

I’ll start my car and just drive all night through the countryside
Head straight for the white rabbit and see you through the window
I don’t even need to look twice
I don’t even need to look twice

I wanna kiss you, blow a bubble, make your gums pop
Tilting back your head to catch the eyedrops
First it was to hide the marbling red, but now you’re just crying on me again

I wanna kiss you, blow a bubble, make your gums pop
Your blowy nose is getting blood on your new tank top
Strawberry, I know you’ve got your own life
And I won’t stop, I won’t stop you

Don’t look in the mirror too long, it’ll fragment
What a way to start your day wrong
Don’t doubt in your heart too long, it’ll break
I found a reason in you to make way
I try to tell you apologies for my hesitance
Wishing I kissed you then, you made me feel like that
Sun beat down on your anatomy
I'm losing track of time, my sanity, my sanity

I wanna kiss you, blow a bubble, make your gums pop
Tilting back your head to catch the eyedrops
First it was to hide the marbling red, but now you’re just crying on me again

I wanna kiss you, blow a bubble, make your gums pop
Your blowy nose is getting blood on your new tank top
Strawberry, I know you’ve got your own life
And I won’t stop, I won’t stop you
