"Lullaby and good night.
Close your eyes
and sleep tight."
I'd love to hear from mom.
Don't wanna hear from you
'cause I'm not your baby.
And since I'm old
and getting cold
in this place...
in this place of slumber,
give me more sugar in my...
more sugar in my bitter coffee
'you gave me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, though,
I talk away my fears,
laugh away the butterflies
and cover them with a bunch of lies.
Today, I'll let you see my smile
as I see you from a mile.
'Run to you just to run away and say...
[Chorus]
"Maria Luna. I'm star-
gazing, staring,
never reaching
and so assuming that
Maria Luna, I swear,
she smiles so mild
though how sad she thinks
that I'm still a kid."
[II]
Awkwardness is our business.
Capitalizing on our weaknesses.
But don't say you're a few years older
and then start acting my mommy.
What are we?
Definitions of maturity,
then, equates to closed Venetian blinds.
