Letra de Shine

[Verse 1]
You’re the tick I found at summer’s end
Crawling around the back of my neck
I thought you were a sun spot I’d have memories of
But you’ve embedded yourself and you’re sucking my blood
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wish I was the kind of girl who sat in cafes mid day
Smiling with all my teeth showing
[Chorus]
Maybe I’m just a parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I’ll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe -
I’ll just shine
[Verse 2]
Like fog that’s grazing mountain tops
You barely even touched my arms
And I knew I wasn’t your girl
And I knew you weren’t my girl
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I wish I was the kind of girl who danced and played these games
Smiling with all my teeth showing
[Chorus]
Maybe I’m just a parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I’ll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe -
I’ll
[Bridge]
And I’ve been practicing my party tricks
Moving the knife between my fingers
While I make my friends all nervous
Moving it faster and faster all the while hoping that I miss
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I know that I’m the kind of girl whose fire cannot be smothered
The kind who would meet their god, my Mother
[Chorus]
Maybe I’m just the parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I’ll be your next favorite placeholder
But baby -
I’ll just shine
