Parade

Don't try to figure me out

Don't try you'll only fail

I'm not a reed in the sand

You're already starting to pale

Everyone's gone for the summer again

Something is building , i don't understand

A hummingbird larks in my hand

But i'm too busy chasing parades

To ever love you the same

Just breathe

He's going away

Pack up your jacket and shoes

Kiss all my friends one more time

Don't take a minute on paintings you see

There's a curtain on the blinds

Peeking is stealing the life you don't share

There's a map of a memory, of us over there

Dangerous questions are near

I'm too busy chasing parades

To love you the same

Just breathe

I'm going away

And I...
