Happiest of all memorial days

I want a child that never grows
And a love that’ll never get too old
No slow days, there’s an everchanging pulse
Busy nights, the brightest lights
You get your cake and eat it too
I want to wake up to parades
And neon billboard signs where the colours never fade away
It’s the happiest of all memorial days
A slow retreat, a fast defeat
If you’re still alone I’d like to come back home
I’d like to come back home
If you’re still alone I’d like to come back home
I’d like to come back home
If you’re still alone I’d like to come back home
I’d like to come back home
If you’re still alone I’d like to come back home
I’d like to come back home
I’d like to come back home
I have been sleeping with the wolves
Velvet sheets, the fattest sheep, and an everblowing cold breeze —
It’s like the planet’s just for me
There’s so much earth, so much ash, so much sea
I want a child that never grows
And a love that’ll never get too old
No slow days, there’s an everchanging pulse
Busy nights, the brightest lights
You get your cake and eat it too
