i once know a girl named june
and one july she waved goodbye
i remember finding her curled up on an old box spring
she said
“i'm gonna make mistakes, I just hope you notice”
i once spoke to a girl named summer
and one fall she stood so tall
she found some confidence and some wings
and she flew away
she sang
“you can't hold me down any longer”
what a beautiful song it was
i once love a girl named rose
and one sunny day she began to wither
so she took a dip in the pool and felt restored
she said
“i hate these thorns”
so she cried
“one day i'll be beautiful and one day you'll love me”
but i already do
