Union Pool - Plushgun

Straightening your collar

'Cause you know without your father

You’re just unemployed

Dancing on the weekends

Oh, you know you own those sequins

Kissing all the boys

But was it you

When the sky turned blue

When we said

We wouldn’t sleep

Until our memories rewind

You say you are an artist

But you know it’s just another

Way to fit the mold

Twenty different leggings

For that outfit you’re perfecting

When it gets too cold

But where are you

The other one of you

The one I met

On that day

You moved to town from Michigan

So why did you listen

To the kids at Union Pool?

Are they cool?

Do they make you think

That you’re so unsuitable

So why do you try

To fit this caricature

The one you painted

Back in high school

Of that girl you dreamt to be when you left home

Nursing that hangover

With a cup of coffee

You can see me

Walking by

Turn your head away

Cause you had nothing

Left to say

So you don’t even try

But someday, maybe

We’ll just get away

And you will say

This was just

Another phase in your life

Straightening your collar

'Cause you know without your father

You’re just unemployed

Dancing on the weekends

Oh, you know you own those sequins

Kissing all the boys

You say you are an artist

But you know it’s just another

Way to fit the mold

Twenty different leggings

For that outfit you’re perfecting

When it gets too cold

So why did you listen

To the kids at Union Pool

Are they cool?

Do they make you think

That you’re so unsuitable

So why do you try

To fit this caricature

The one you painted

Back in high school

Of that girl you dreamt to be when you left home
