Julie

Julie, I don't know why I see you in my head

Every time I get high and lay alone in bed

Feels like you're right there holding me till I fall asleep

But Julie, I feel the gun you hold right to my teeth

Julie, your skin is clear and your smile fills the room

Everyone asks you things like, "Where'd you get that perfume?"

You're an old soul but you make each day shiny and new

Is it strange that I cry knowing I'll never be you?

Don't tell my mom

But I'm growing my hair out

And don't show my dad

What I start to wear out

Cause this cold war

Is freezing me from the inside

And I can't do this anymore

So please, Julie, tell me who to be

Julian, how I wish we could talk face to face

Haircuts and dresses change you but they'll never erase

That starry eyed little boy you wish you still could be

I recognize him but I don't think he was me

Julian, you've won every battle you've waged, my friend

Lions and wolves attacked but you outsmarted them

Brigades you stood up against and declared your cold war

They'll never say but they don't know what they're fighting for

Don't let me go

I'm a part of you

Let yourself become

Whoever you have to

Cause you are inimitable

Your magic lights the room

But you'll have to find a way to go on

And Julian, I promise you will

Oh Julian, I promise you will

Oh woah

I promise you will
