Serafina

Serafina, highly graceful, face lights up arenas

Barely breathing, mason jar of that café

You picture all them seeing

You alone, you're barely clothed

You laugh, "It's so revealing"

Oh yeah it's so revealing

I'm higher than I've ever been

Won't you come down, let me in?

And I swear to God you'll leave me all by myself again

You just wanna leave me

I can see it in your eyes

This ain't a world of compromise

You remind me of Serafina

Highly graceful, face lights up arenas

I'ma leave it right where I began it

I'm a little lost now, won't you take me to the ground?

I'm a little lost now, won't you take me to the ground?

Ooh, you must think you're caught in a dream

Ooh, you must think there's nothing to see

Serafina, do you get tired of that dancing taking all your free time?

Missing birthdays on the weekends, you can't even sleep in

Work your body till it hurts, this ain't my first Bloody Sunday, bloody foot in the works

Grandparents miss you, but you a boss you quit for no one, that's what mama teach ya

Like "you should eat", but compliment your figure

She's a bitch tho, second coming of Monte Cristo

It's in the wrist tho, defined by all these big goals

And that's just how they want it to be

Even in the world of the free

You're just another version of me

And all that I keep thinking is

Ooh, you must think you're caught in a dream

Ooh, you must think there's nothing to see

And the sandman gonna help it go away

Even in the brightest of days

You can still hide at your own place

Oh Serafina, it takes a while till you can fill up those big arenas

I can make it happen for you

That's what all them say to you

That's what all them say to you

That's what all them say to you

If you made it this far on my little calling card

It's easy to see how it all gets the best of me

And I was perfect to begin with, no I was the farthest thing from it

If I could flashback to Governor's Island

When we were all running on those big heavy bikes that weren't ours, but our dads

And we would lose all of our lunches to the weed and lack of cash

And we were just becoming teenagers when we snuck onto the pier

And I told them all about you, I told my oldest friends about you

And they laughed and punched the ground and said "you're crazy"

I guess that'll do

And at the party I was a different me, and I guess you were a different you

It's funny how we become different versions of ourselves

Especially around the girls, and boys for a time

That was seventh grade, right?

How you identify don't change the way you saved me from the highway

Thanks for listening to all the trouble that I get myself into

You know until the end of time I'd do the same for you
