Name: Avenues
Duration: P00H01M42S
Description: Fun fact(s): the idea of taillights and headlights as "red and white ribbons" was inspired by my father and his impression of viewing them on the highway when he was a child. The idea of the "passenger seat" or the "back seat" is somewhat of a romantic idea to me (and a reoccurring one!) as I am usually the driver. Also, "kill" refers to roadkill, something which I have a strange intrigue for.

lyrics

You tell me stories and I squirm in the passenger seat. Big city traffic still makes me nervous, but I'm working on it. You flick your wrist and I grow quiet as I try to keep a smile inside, because to ruin is to show your teeth. And I don't want to ruin anything. Red and white ribbons wrap around me as I leave. I smile, secret, when you're not looking and that will be enough. I count bouquets and kill on the side of the street. I hope to hell you find some kind of friend in me. Black sky above and concrete, firm beneath my feet. It's always enough.
