I made you a flag out of leaves and grass
I made you a map out of modern glass
We were young and we still are
We were cold and it was dark

The tide came running one night, erased our names
From the sands away, our hands were black
From putting out the fire
Talked about boys who dance in white

In our neighborhood the houses were old
The trees were young and the summer sea was cold

Because of the blood
I wash my face in the mud
Now I'm someone new
Now I don't look like you

I sit by the trees that had no leaves
Let the snow seep into me and there's no leaves
But that's the way it was
Supposed to be

That's the way you could feel
Our hands were black from putting out the fire
Talked about you, you dance in white
You dance in white

I pull your hair in the kitchen where the night
Was burning and we were never coy

Because of the blood
I wash my face in the mud
Now I'm someone new
Now I don't look like you
