Petal – Shine lyrics
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

I wish I was the kind of girl who sat in cafes mid day smiling with all my teeth showing
Maybe I’m just a parrot on your shoulder, maybe I’ll be your next favorite placeholder, or maybe-
I’ll just shine

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

And I wish I was the kind of girl who danced and played these games smiling with all my teeth showing

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 I miss

And I know that I’m the kind of girl who’s fire cannot be smothered
The kind who would meet their god, my Mother
Maybe I’m just the parrot on your shoulder
Maybe I’ll be your next favorite placeholder
But baby, I’ll just shine
