It happened because you left
Empire! empire! (i was a lonely estate)I tempered my fear into haste
A worry that dogged our mother
She, the baby of three, asked how
So many things could take flight at once
There are no easy answers, and even thirteen, I
Could not think of a sure reply
At the church where I was baptized
Our father refused to park near the crow
At that time, I still believed in God, or faeries
Or that the air could catch on fire
When you and your friends took off on separate routes
I wanted to follow you
But our mother said I was not allowed to
You had not yet learned how to fill such a broad frame
That winter you said you hated your body
But when spring came, you'd learned how to speak
And you moved west
To watch the ocean eat the coast away
I can still remember that day you left
Thoughts spilling out from my chest
Like, "who will you be when you come back"
Or even, "will you come back?"
Eu temperado meu medo em pressa
A preocupação de que perseguiu a nossa mãe
Ela, o bebê de três, perguntou como
Tantas coisas poderiam tomar o vôo de uma só vez
Não há respostas fáceis, e até treze anos, eu
Não poderia pensar em uma resposta certo
Na igreja onde fui batizado
Nosso pai se recusou a estacionar perto do corvo
Naquela época, eu ainda acreditava em Deus, ou fadas
Ou que o ar pode pegar fogo
Quando você e seus amigos decolou em rotas separadas
Eu queria segui-lo
Mas a nossa mãe disse que eu não estava autorizado a
Você ainda não tinha aprendido a preencher um quadro tão amplo
Naquele inverno você disse que odiava o seu corpo
Mas quando a primavera chegou, você aprendeu a falar
E você mudou para o oeste
Para ver o mar da costa comer fora
Ainda me lembro daquele dia que você deixou
Pensamentos que derrama para fora do meu peito
Como, "que você vai ser quando você voltar"
Ou ainda, "você vai voltar?"
