《Your Life》歌词

[00:00:00] Your Life - Andrea Gibson

[00:00:02] Lyricist：Andrea Gibson

[00:00:05] It isn't that you don't like boys

[00:00:07] It's just that you only like boys you want to be

[00:00:10] David with his jaw carved out of the side of a cliff

[00:00:14] Malcolm who doesn't have secrets just stories

[00:00:17] He owes no one

[00:00:19] Chris the basketball hero with the tick

[00:00:22] Blinks fifteen times when he makes a shot

[00:00:25] You spend hours blinking in the mirror

[00:00:28] Pretending you're a star like him

[00:00:32] Mary Lavine calls you a dyke

[00:00:35] You don't have the language to tell her she's wrong and right

[00:00:39] So you just show up to her house

[00:00:41] Promising to paint her fingernails red with what will gush from her busted face

[00:00:45] If she ever says it again

[00:00:48] You're in the seventh grade

[00:00:49] You don't even know you want a girlfriend

[00:00:52] You still believe to much in the people

[00:00:54] Who believe in Jesus to even feel desire to its hell threat

[00:00:59] You just want to kick your desk on the way to the principal's office

[00:01:02] Slouch in detention

[00:01:04] Want to cut your hair and spit out whatever you don't want in your mouth

[00:01:09] Your own name even

[00:01:11] Skirting around the truth

[00:01:14] You don't yet know the boys are built in their confidence on stolen land

[00:01:19] But you do worry the girls might be occupied with things you will never understand

[00:01:25] Won't ever ever be good at

[00:01:27] You take one pretty step and feel

[00:01:29] Like you're pouring bubbles into your own bloodbath

[00:01:32] You don't want a soft death

[00:01:34] You want a hard life that is your life

[00:01:38] Your life at the locker room that doesn't stop

[00:01:41] Demanding to keep your eyes on the floor

[00:01:43] Your life at the prom where you run home and a snowstorm

[00:01:47] Chugging your last pair of heels in a snowbank

[00:01:50] Realizing you are the only boy you want ever wanted to tear off for

[00:01:55] Your life the first Christmas you spend alone

[00:01:58] The years you learn to build your family out of scratch

[00:02:02] Your life when someone drags you from a restroom but the color of your coat

[00:02:06] Your life every time airport security screams pink or blue pink or blue

[00:02:12] Trying to figure out what machine setting to run

[00:02:14] You through choosing your life and how that made you to

[00:02:18] Someone often finds it easy to explain your gender by saying

[00:02:23] You are happiest on the road when you're not here or there but in between

[00:02:28] That yellow line running down the center of it all like a godd**n sunbeam

[00:02:33] Your name is not a song you will sing under your breath

[00:02:36] Your pronouns haven't even invented yet

[00:02:40] You're gonna shave your head drive through Texas

[00:02:42] You're gonna kill your own God

[00:02:44] So you can fall in love for the first time

[00:02:47] They're gonna keep telling your heartbeat is a pre existing condition

[00:02:52] They're gonna keep telling you are a crime of nature

[00:02:55] And you're gonna look at all your options and choose conviction

[00:02:59] Choose to carve your own heart out of a side of a cliff

[00:03:02] Choose to spend your whole life telling secrets you owe no one till everyone

[00:03:08] Till there isn't anyone who can insult you by calling you what you are

[00:03:13] You holy blinking star

[00:03:15] You highway streak of light

[00:03:17] Falling over and over for your hard life

[00:03:21] Your perfect life your sweet beautiful life
