Night Song - Julia Holter

Late night in lake park

I wait for you to see me

My eyes open

Standing watch for hours

Wearing your favorite thing

I awoke

Pleasing you so slowly

I’m giving you time

And the soft light

On your mad brow

I’m asking you to show me how

Show me now

Show me your second face

Show me how you make

Your second face

Fingers situate themselves

In dark

Moving the way that is so easy

And in summer bright

Your shout on the surface, warm

I throw a box-full

Of oranges

Syrup seeping out

Searching for a season smell

I run from you

Then walk back to

You, who I don’t know

I’m sniffing for a light

Show me now

Show me your second face

Show me how you make

Your second face

What did I do to make you feel so bad?

What did I do that you would make me feel so bad?
