To The Weepies


What can I compare you to, a favorite pair of shoes?

Maybe my bright red boots if they had wings

Funny how we animate colorful objects saved

Funny how it's hard to take a love with no sting.

But come on take it, come on take it, take it from me

But come on take it, come on take it, take it from me


What can I compare you to, a window the sun shines through?

Maybe the silver moon, a smile rising

The magic of the fading day, satellites on parade

A toast to the plans we've made to live like kings.

I lose my breath despite the air

When the rain falls down I give in to despair


Pink magnolia in winter she doesn't care if you don't show up to have another cup.

What can I compare you to, when everything looks like you?

I get a bit confused with every Spring

Flowers that bloom your eyes, hummingbirds side by side

My heart won't stay entirely in this rib caging


- The Weepies
I found a band that made me fall in love with music all over again :)

Little space. Big Heart.

Every afternoon in the summer vacation, I would take a nap. My grandmother would draw the curtains to stop the sunlight from coming into the room..

She would switch on the fan. The fan always made a chugging noise. It was old and tired but it spent its life providing the most incredible service.

The room was a small one. It had one television that magically played cartoons that I loved. The magician was my grandfather.

And the room had wonderful books. You could smell them in the air. Knowledge embraced the very essence of it.

A little bed lay in the other corner, where my grandfather read the newspaper. He smiled at me as he heard the gurgle in my laughter, and then watched my dreams unfold.

I'm the faintest fragrance in the rotting flower.
I'm the other side with the greener grass.
