When Phoebe Held My Hand

I was 13
Long hair, frizzy
No sense of my own style yet
Eyes were saline
From a phone call saying
Nikki was caught in the influence of death
Nothing made sense for a moment, then a week
Then Phoebe found me off the grounds by the creek
She was always arrogant, obnoxious, non-discreet
But now she quietly reminded me that I had company

Sorry for your loss
Is never what they mean
When Phoebe held my hand
I finally felt seen

Now I'm off to a school across the country
Lucky me, I got out of this town
When she calls me, she's all about the memories
and catching me up on all the comedowns
This summer we won't hold our tongues
We'll sit on twin beds and laugh like we're young
Well I guess we are but time is always relative
Philosophizing everything like how did we end up like this

Please never change
Is never what they mean
When Phoebe held my hand
I finally felt seen

If we grow apart
She'll still be in my heart
That's not what I mean but it's true

I'd do anything for you
Is not really what I mean
But when I hold your hand
I hope that you feel seen
I hope that you feel seen
