the story goes my father would never unwrap a piece of gum
without saving half for my mother the story goes
my mother saved all the halves in a jar that’s not the point
i’m not looking for anything serious just someone to watch
my plants when I’m gone (you can sing now if you want to)
they’re worried no one will marry me i have an accent in every language
i want to be left alone but that’s not how you make grandchildren
i can’t go home with you home is a place in time
(that’s not how you get me to dance)
I’m not from here i’m not from anywhere
i mean to say i don’t know that song
