Lyrics Twelve - Julia Marcell

Twelve

You might find it hard to remember when you look at me now
But once long time ago I swear I was twelve
I didn’t have respect for people, not for anyone
I used to have fun all alone, have fun all by myself
But you had a gentle face with lips so full, quick like a preacher
So you would hang out at the gym all day to look like wrestlers
Still you kept this look so understanding like a preschool teacher
You statue of a man with all those muscles and the chest hair
Hey hey, won’t you stay
In one of my castles
We could have it all (Hey hey)
And then in school I used to always fall in love with singers
Like little fool I was they never taught me how to sing
Boys with pianos didn’t want to hurt their pretty fingers
And I swore to stay twelve till I see you again my king
With every sin the net of skin becomes a little weaker
My next of kin is having kids, they start to grow first
And everyday I eat and then become a little sicker
A cancer that kills so slow you forget it exists
Hey hey, won’t you stay
In one of my castles
We could have it all (Hey hey)
Sometimes I think it’s better to just go before my time
So I could at least feel like I’m having life in my own hands
But moods take turns in torturing me with their arrival
And my own head plays tricks on me forgetting what I meant
I am forgetting who I was when I was with you darling
I am forgetting and my face turns into pile of blue
You can’t go before you know what love is, you said to be charming
Not before you know love, oh God I was angry with you
Hey hey, won’t you stay
In one of my castles
We could have it all (Hey hey)
