Born Clever - Kat Frankie

Born in a tree

hopelessly wondering

real life above,

real life below

but you’re too young to know

too young to know.

Born to lie

to the lovers resistance

your hand in the air,

your heart in the ground

but you’re too clever to know

too clever to know.

I can’t love you now

Born to a crown

ladies are waiting

so ready for love,

ready to sing

but you’re too stumbling to see

no heart is a trophy.

I can’t love you now.

But I’ll rest your soul tonight

and you’ll tell me everything you are.

Leave your horse aside the well

and the unfamiliar dark rest your soul tonight

and I’ll tell you everything I’m not.

Not a trophy nor a crown.

Don’t ask me to love you now.
