Shiny Shuppet

lyrics

We were kids with new phones
Roleplaying our hearts out
You played the ghost and I played the haunted
You were scared of touch, I was scared of your presence

We painted lives with every little text
Your swing set’s a spaceship; send us to the next
Little planet where people are a little less loud

My worm’s-eye-view of you is ever-present,
Purple, royalty of the shy kid
There are so many things that remind me of
You and the smile you sent when I asked in stupid texts,
“Can we say ‘I love you’ friend-to-friend?
I’ve always wanted to hear that
I know that we’re shy, but I promise I’ll talk,
Promising sunrise and skateboards and ramen on rooftops”

Wizard of Oz on New Year’s Eve
Sending pics, saying, “Soon we’ll meet”
And talks at 2 a.m. — “Are you still up?”
And nothing after that
I just want to be there when you’re sick
I’ve been giving hugs to everything I miss
We said we’d run away from home
I guess you got there first

If I creeped you out before I cracked my shell,
I’m sorry, I just had to find myself
You probably won’t recognize me now
And probably never will
If I believe in you, do I believe in ghosts?
You still exist in forests
Of paper and poems
I guess you still kinda haunt me
And that’s okay
