about

The first time I wrote a love song and actually meant it.

lyrics

If you were a shopping cart
I wouldn't know when to start
Shopping for summer clothes

If you were my first child
I wouldn't know when you first smiled
Cause I don't know how it usually goes

If you were my first kiss
I wouldn't know where to put my lips
Well I guess I still don't

If you were my first love
I wouldn't compare you to any hard drugs
So I guess I won't

But you're not. But you're still special.
Well you're not but I still care how you're feeling today
You're not any of that stuff which makes you a new kind of tough and I'm
something but I'll try anyway

If you were a winter wind
I wouldn't want you to ever end
Ruffling my petals.
Cause I'm a flower on a windowsill
And I'm tired of being still
Solving all the moonlight's riddles
I wanna sunbathe on hot sand
A little like Alice in Wonderland
Was she dreaming the whole time?

She was surprised when someone woke her up
Guess I think she'd had quite enough
No I don't think that I'd mind

So does that mean you're going?
Okay maybe that makes my chest crunch a little bit
But look outside my dear it's started snowing....

I'll go. I'll go. I'll go.

If you were a shopping cart, I've returned you to the car park
Grocery bag in each hand
And I know you wouldn't mind
Spending all that trippy time
Like Alice in Wonderland.

Grocery bag in each hand
Like Alice in Wonderland
I guess you weren't my man.

Fiery folk-rock from my friend Chan,a Portland-based vocalist, guitarist and saw player. Recently moved to an electric vibe; like going to prom with depressed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Empty Disco

Teenage Witch

She's gay, she's trans, she's the future of pop music and home recordings. Ashlynn's songs get stuck in your head for days... in a good way. Empty Disco
