Claire Ruby - Envelopes Lyrics

We met in high school bio
I barely passed my classes on my own
17 in a child's mind
Making paper airplanes to pass on the time
And my little brother always pointed out
How it looked like you and I were going out
But I can't do that
We passed all the notes
The status quo and my ego
But deep down I hope

That you see the tear stains on each paper where I wrote down your name
If I was eaten alive
Would you cry?
Even if I'm straight-faced I'll hold on to your rope
You better think of me when you're sealing envelopes

It's playing poker face when I'm trying to hold in my laughter
Out of all of these victims hope I'm the one you're after
The experiments you've done
Hope you learn that I should be the chosen one
It seems I have no empathy
But I hope I hit you hard like a jet ski
I have a tough demeanor
But my heart is still made of paper

You see the tear stains on each paper where I wrote down your name
If I was eaten alive
Would you cry?
Even if I'm straight-faced I'll hold on to your rope
You see my split dye
Like us the sides cannot be divided
I honestly don't have horns
Still in these black boots I've always worn
And see the best in me through this periscope
You better think of me when you're sealing envelopes

You see the tear stains on each paper where I wrote down your name
If I was eaten alive
Would you cry?
I'll wander through life until I find home
You better think of me when you're-
Sealing envelopes
