about

This was the first song Jo and I ever wrote together, and it has a very special place in my heart. Featuring my (Dia's) own wonderful mother Cassie Gretzinger on the violin.

lyrics

I didn’t shave my legs today, I hope all the boys still love me
I was born just yesterday, in the doorway, I saw you watching
and I thought “was that the truth?” when I saw you, or was I faking?
and if I made a mistake, tell me,

would you stay my baby?
would you stay my baby?

If they saw me at my worst, would all the girls still think I’m perfect?
If you knew my ugliness, my black lilith, am I still worth it?
cause I knew you were my truth when I saw you, but now I’m fading
and if I stay half alive and cracked inside until I’m 80.

would you stay my baby?
would you stay my baby?
take me back to KC


eat it and drink it
silver spoon
you’re gonna be a mother soon.
fake it and naked with a view
blame it all on the tv too

eat it and drink it
silver spoon
weekend blues
you’re gonna be a mother soon.
make it and take it
fake it
naked with a view
blame it all on the tv too.

(and how well do you know your fingers?
all mine are crooked at the ends
didn't notice till I was 18.
I’m always too late to the party
I’m always too late to my body)
