lyrics

he was dominic when he smiled
i linked onto him like a child
& we danced like red velvet
doesn’t mean i’m stuck

means it’s a dried flower that i can moisten
the rose has undoubted thorns
doesn’t take the time to tell me
but i linger

still looking for that messy haired boy
the one who’s always tryin’ to fix it but never can no never
& wanting wanting wanting

he was sixteen from Jackson, Mississippi
lost in the woods but i loved how he held me
w/ spinning eyes
‘cause he was dominic when dominic smiled
& wanting wanting wanting
