lyrics

Oh how thin you are
with a face that outshines the stars
A quinceañera at fourteen,
'You're the luckiest'
think all the younger girls who aren't dying anytime soon

And we watched you dance to the moon
with your father's hands and a brace to catch your swoons
The rhythm's long and it's slow
'You're the strongest'
think all the older ones who don't see you at night

And your dress, a waving teal flag
Wash it in cold water, don't let it fade
do you mind if we laugh?
If you're up to it, you should join in too
It's just the silence is getting a little weird

And I'll sing to you in English
'cause I heard you think that it's pretty
though I'm not exactly sure if it was your wish
but it's all I've got to give right now
oh it's all I've got to make sense of right now
