Home for the Holidays

Do you remember that time I came home and

You wanted a hug and

I had to squeeze through the door cause

I didn't fit anymore

You wanted a hug and

I had to get unstuck cause

I didn't fit anymore

In your arms, in ten stories with hardwood floor

I had to get unstuck cause

Everything was smaller than I remembered

In your arms, in ten stories with hardwood floor

My words swelled up till they filled the room

Everything was smaller than I remembered

I was bigger than you recalled

My words swelled up till they filled the room

And you said there wasn’t enough space left for you

I was bigger than you recalled

So I chopped off my feet and I crawled

And you said there wasn’t enough space left for you

You couldn’t introduce me to the people you knew

So I chopped off my feet and I crawled

And you said it was all my fault that

You couldn’t introduce me to the people you knew

Remember, I was the one who grew

And you said it was all my fault that

You had to make sacrifices too

Remember, I was the one who grew

You only made mistakes because I made you

You had to make sacrifices too

Chopping off friends while I sliced my limbs through

You only made mistakes because I made you

And, isn’t it true? You’ve gotten so good at screaming without saying my name
