sally jean are you there?

 

light

 

sally jean?

 

agonizing pain

 

secrets left uncovered

 

loving what can't be loved

 

people wont accept this

 

sally jean, a girl

 

me too a girl

 

they wont accept this

 

its a phase

 

i like boys too

 

how can it be both

 

why so indecisive

 

sally jean

 

the girl in the meadow

 

a crown of flowers surrounding her 

 

fresh flowers like the ones she gave me

 

light-wash jeans

 

cuffed

 

music in my ears

 

playlists she made

 

she's my secret

 

my parents wont understand

 

why must i love sally jean

 

her brown beautiful hair

 

perfect, crooked smile

 

bright, big eyes

 

the protective warm hugs

 

i wish i could share this burden

 

big, heavy burden

 

pressing on my

 

shoulders

back

chest

head

 

pressure, pressure

 

sally jean relieves the pressure

 

but she causes the pressure

 

boys are easy

 

but sally jean is worth it

 

worth the secrets

 

sally jean?

 

light

 

sally jean are you there?
