lyrics

Have I done
Okay son?
I know it’s not about me
Yes, it’s true
You’ll be you
And do just fine without me

I’ll be there
In your hair
Don’t you
Seek to
Be like me

It’s okay
DNA
Endless worlds precede you
Wind-blown seeds
Colourful creeds
That shepherd or impede you

I’m your friend
But in the end
Don’t you
Need to
Be like me

Makes me blue
The blues on you
The blanket's weight concealing
The meteorite scars
On moons and stars
On some enchanted evening

But only to
Yourself be true
Don’t you
Seem to
Be like me
