And at that moment, I swear we were infinite.

Love you 'cause I can come home
crying when the girls are mean.
You hug and listen.

When we bought that Simon and Garfunkel tape
I was the happiest I could be.

You don't make fun of the
braids in my hair,
and you smell my scented
nail polish.

But then Cecilia comes on
and we're busy dancing.
