lyrics

You careless lil' thing

You knew the back way into heaven, all covered in ivy


We were the hum at first light, a party on a school night

and we could sing


You took age without any shame, time slipped forward to the soft tempo of your eyelashes

But your hair always the same:

up
back
careless


You were the strawberry-blonde tips of summer

And you took me and taught me the lost songs of the southern showers

So wear your hair up

So the loose strands touch your freckles

Wear your hair up

So the tan always shines from cheek to temple
