Shine (Audiotree Live Version)
You're the tick I found at summer's end
Crawling around the back of my neck
I thought you were a sun spot I'd have memories of
But you've embedded yourself and you're sucking my blood
I wish I was the kind of girl who sat
In cafes mid day
Smiling with all my teeth showing
Maybe I'm just a parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I'll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe
I'll just shine
Like fog that's grazing mountain tops
You barely even touched my arms
And I knew I wasn't your girl
And I knew you weren't my girl
And I wish I was the kind of girl who danced and played these games
Smiling with all my teeth showing
Maybe I'm just a parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I'll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe
I'll just shine
And I've been practicing my party tricks
Moving the knife between my fingers
While I make my friends all nervous
Moving it faster and faster all the while hoping I miss
And I know that I'm the kind of girl who's fire cannot be smothered
The kind who would meet their god, my Mother
Maybe I'm just the parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I'll be your next favorite placeholder
But baby
I'll just shine
Crawling around the back of my neck
I thought you were a sun spot I'd have memories of
But you've embedded yourself and you're sucking my blood
I wish I was the kind of girl who sat
In cafes mid day
Smiling with all my teeth showing
Maybe I'm just a parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I'll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe
I'll just shine
Like fog that's grazing mountain tops
You barely even touched my arms
And I knew I wasn't your girl
And I knew you weren't my girl
And I wish I was the kind of girl who danced and played these games
Smiling with all my teeth showing
Maybe I'm just a parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I'll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe
I'll just shine
And I've been practicing my party tricks
Moving the knife between my fingers
While I make my friends all nervous
Moving it faster and faster all the while hoping I miss
And I know that I'm the kind of girl who's fire cannot be smothered
The kind who would meet their god, my Mother
Maybe I'm just the parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I'll be your next favorite placeholder
But baby
I'll just shine
