I love David Bazan’s lyrics:
“I don’t like girls the way they are
So shave their legs and make them look like movie stars”

When I was a kid there were things I loved so much that I couldn’t believe they existed
Things like
Cotton candy
Miniature paper cocktail umbrellas
Diaries with a tiny lock and a tiny key
