June

It's finally happening to me
The thing I just had to believe
It will be seven years in June
I know my time is coming soon

I told her everything I know
I told her daddy where to go
I let her drink my mama's wine
I never was allowed to shine

But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on

She took me to her parents'
I stared their dog right in the face
He asked me if I knew his name
"Mother," I said without a shame

There's something you should know right here
Might not be gay but sure am queer
We would be married in six weeks
I'm not afraid to say "defeat"

But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on
(Hold on, just hold on)

Freedom is just another word
But words are for more than being heard
Wishing you did like (femme?)
I've got to go and be myself

It's finally happening to me
The thing I was afraid to believe
It took me seven years to bloom
I knew my time was coming soon

But hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on
(Hold on, just hold on)
Hold on, just hold on, hold on, just hold on
(Hold on, just hold on)

Hold on
