lyrics

i watched you suffer
i watched you quarantine the plague
my northern brother
when you caught fire, you burned away
and then just like a phoenix
when you emerged you dusted off your wings
i wish i could've seen it
i wish there was a word for the
feeling when you recognize
the streets and signs that tell you you are home
i am home

'cause i've been driving with the feeling that i've lost my way
with nowhere to rest
and though i might have said i fixed my brain
i think my heart's still a mess

flashback, flash forward
how come i'm never in the now?
my norther brother
could you come back and show me how?
i try my best to be honest
'cause when i lie i am laid back on the ground
i try my best to stay modest
but it's hard when i'm just so goddamn proud
i am proud

and it's a problem 'cause i'll
beat, beat, beat, beat, beat my chest until my knuckles blush
but if my heart beats back with equal strength
i think i'll listen up

i believe in thanking strangers
and celebrating small remainders
a birthday cake with a wax-lit timer
i'm sure i can be a little bit kinder

i believe in astrophysics
and the planets that i cannot visit
but i hope to one day see them
on tv or real in person

i believe in forward progress
and the love of a simple promise
'cause if we trust the ones that trust us
it will take less time to adjust

i believe in feminism
a contrast to the world we live in
we're a part of a big equation
an equals sign and an obligation

i believe it's all right if i don't have sex that often
i believe it's all right if i don't fall asleep 'til morning
i believe it's all right if i like to think a little
i believe it's all right if i like to drink a little/a lot

i believe it's all right to be alone
i believe it's all right to want to go home
i believe it's all right to be unknown
i believe it's all right to just let go
