Juniper, I cannot seem to beat my teenage ego
Every word you say goes right past my heart
Juniper, I can't just scream to my lonely window
I need someone to hear me speak of boring plants and stars
You hold me to degrees I know I'll never reach that heat
And I will mend those broken dreams
I swear I will glow with light
I just need your frozen hands to hold me
Juniper, I cannot seem to beat my teenage ego
Luminously scarce, lost in violet memories
I harvest time and space from windows through the cosmos
And now I realize that it was never meant for me
I win, I lose, I break the rules
I wonder why you let me
And I think it's you that I'm upsetting
When I, I burn out in the night
I have no frozen hands to hold me
Juniper
I'll beat my teenage ego
Someday
