The HeartSleeves Jessica Song lyrics

Playing tiger
and baby elephant
on the stairs at our home in Schenectady.

all these places
and gentle memories
come flooding in from the world that you shared with me

like playing manta
and moray
in the blue green depths of a Lake George day

and reading comic books by flashlight
when the rain came down
anchored out just us four in old log bay

Jessica
you can never fade
into a memory
you're tangible and incorruptible
defiant and inseparable
emanating from within me

the long car rides
through Pennsylvania
playing Alphabet with license plates and passing signs

I was new year's baby
you were father time
performing sketches for Grandma in Pittsburgh at Christmastime

My confidant
My foil at times
As teens we fought

but we repaired the lines

sweet gentle warrior
you are not gone
sweet gentle Amazon.

Watching Evil dead 2
with my hand covered eyes
you insisted to me
it was a comedy

then you'd take out your guitar
and we'd harmonize
those moments still exist in me

Jessica
you can never fade
into a memory
you're tangible and incorruptible
defiant and inseparable
emanating from within me

you love Christmas cookies
you love bad tv
I love them both too
when you shared them with me

you had a tiger suit
and you took my hand
and I felt safe from that moment on
