Rebel High

(álbum: Supertropicali - 2023)

I think of home and how the sanctuary sighs
As the sun goes down on purple skies
Never mind the ever-turning tide
Never mind the cars still rushing by

I knew I'd find you in the garden
You said you didn't wanna spoil me
Is that what you mean when you say

I can see the signs, I don't want to
In those cloudy eyes, pray to God you
Don't die at twenty-one
Just because you wanna have fun
It's just a rebel high

I think of walking in the fields when I was young
Before the thought of life as rung to rung
Nothing tastes as sweet as orchard air
Now I curse the curse that made it seem unfair

I left you standing in the garden
Left with your heart like royalty
I took my right to run away
And all the way in LA, I heard you say

I can see the signs, I don't want to
In those cloudy eyes, pray to God you
Don't die at twenty-one
Just because you wanna have fun
It's just a rebel high

Don't die at twenty-one
Just because you're scared to live on
It's just a rebel high
