words of avoidance

needle in the back says i love you baby, one was a lion, and the other was a flock of birds, can't tell my head from my heart much lately, one gets light, and the other falls down like her, and it always seems like the longest dream, when you're all alone, is he coming home, round and round and round they fly, the needle dips into the dye and i'm yours, this is just the reason why, the lion dies and no one tries to call, but here comes the rain again, falling down like words of avoidance, i said you're old enough to know this, so why do you let it get to you, try to call but no one nobody noticed, i said you're old enough to know this, so why do you let it get to you, your father left here when you were still ten, with nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing, he said "honey take the kids to your mother's, i, think i'm gonna lose control and i don't know why", and it always seems like the longest dream, when you're all alone, is he coming home, and here comes the rain again, falling down like words of avoidance, i said you're old enough to know this, so why do you let it get to you, try to call but no one nobody noticed, i said you're old enough to know this, and here comes the rain again, he's just running late again, i try to call but no one nobody noticed, i said you're old enough to know this, so why do you let it get to you, come falling down like words of avoidance, i said you're old enough to know this, so why do you let it get to you, you're old enough to know this, you're old enough to know this, so why do you let it get to you, you're old enough to know this, you're old enough to know this, you're old enough to know this, you know who you are
