181 Saybrook Road
Shoelace undone
14 years old
6:15 stood in the cold
Up before sun
I start to unfold
4 years to remember
Or so they say
My lungs freeze in december
So I started to pray
Asked God for ease and patience
Asked for anyone to understand
Someone to hear me
Someone to be my friend
Asked for anyone to like me
Asked for anyone to stay
Asked God on the school bus
Just to have a good day
22 so moved on
New city new life
Backed out and drove off
Still in my rearview
The shadow of a girl
Glued to her driveway
In another world
It was another world
Asked God for ease and patience
Asked for anyone to understand
Someone to hear her
Someone to be her friend
Asked for everyone to like her
Asked for everyone to stay
Asked God for that sweet girl
Just to have a good day
Asked for everyone to like her
Asked for everyone to stay
Frozen prayers in the driveway
