Twelve - Julia Marcell

You might find it hard to remember when you look at me now

But once long time ago I swear I was twelve

I didn’t have respect for people, not for anyone

I used to have fun all alone, have fun all by myself

But you had a gentle face with lips so full, quick like a preacher

So you would hang out at the gym all day to look like wrestlers

Still you kept this look so understanding like a preschool teacher

You statue of a man with all those muscles and the chest hair

Hey hey, won’t you stay

In one of my castles

We could have it all (Hey hey)

And then in school I used to always fall in love with singers

Like little fool I was they never taught me how to sing

Boys with pianos didn’t want to hurt their pretty fingers

And I swore to stay twelve till I see you again my king

With every sin the net of skin becomes a little weaker

My next of kin is having kids, they start to grow first

And everyday I eat and then become a little sicker

A cancer that kills so slow you forget it exists

Hey hey, won’t you stay

In one of my castles

We could have it all (Hey hey)

Sometimes I think it’s better to just go before my time

So I could at least feel like I’m having life in my own hands

But moods take turns in torturing me with their arrival

And my own head plays tricks on me forgetting what I meant

I am forgetting who I was when I was with you darling

I am forgetting and my face turns into pile of blue

You can’t go before you know what love is, you said to be charming

Not before you know love, oh God I was angry with you

Hey hey, won’t you stay

In one of my castles

We could have it all (Hey hey)
