Aurora

There’s an ache in my neck

I think maybe I pulled something

Trying to look for Aurora

The city I’m forgetting

Memories of adolescence 

Oh, if only I could wear them

Like a proper prescription

I’d see me better then

I found myself on purpose

But that girl I was is still searching

Darling

I am your mother

But I am a daughter

Still growing like you

One day I will show you Aurora

And tell you I’ll love you

When you change someday too

I remember my first lesson

There’s no crying in baseball kid

Rub some dirt where you’re bleeding

Like a real American

Cassidy was my first best friend

We believed what our families did

But trying to live in that gospel

Was more impossible than leaving it

I found myself, I’m certain

But the girl I was is still hurting

In my hand is a photograph

Little you and your drum kit

Rips my heart out of my chest

I love you, remember that
