about

I wrote this song about losing my virginity to someone who made me feel like I was beneath their station later on in the relationship.

lyrics

My blue eyed beauty returns from overseas
I want you to hold me, finally
Cause I'm certain that I'll die with you
or you will die with me
Cause we've got it all figured out, my soulmate,
there is no doubt
So I dress in white, like a stereotype
And you come back from Istanbul
You come back from Istanbul with your suitcase full

But we're in the guest house
and so that means that I am only temporary
We're in the guest house on these sheets,
when it gets late I have to leave
We're in the guest house, what does that mean?
I've read enough to know that it's symbolizing something

July heat and Christmas lights
and everything's feeling just right
you and I, we never fight
you and I, we never fight
you love me through all my pink skin
I taste my honey on your chin
your voice gentle in my ear
words tiptoeing like baby deer
there is no world outside of our own
our downfall's completely unknown
my outstretched hand holds your face
so beautiful before you made such big mistakes

But we're in the guest house
and so that means that I am only temporary
We're in the guest house on these sheets,
when it gets late I have to leave
We're in the guest house, what does that mean?
I've read enough to know that it's symbolizing something

you're a white collar, a blue blood
and I think you are my true love
but I'm in a place I cannot stay
my heart led me astray
I love all you give
but you are a trust fund kid
fuck you and your CEO dad
I love you so much and I want you bad

I am a queen at the naive age of sixteen
in the impermanence I permanently give you everything
I am a queen at the naive age of sixteen
in the impermanence I permanently give you everything


But we're in the guest house
and so that means that I am only temporary
We're in the guest house, what does that mean?
I've read enough to know that it's symbolizing something

you can see the money money money
but you'll always be a guest to it honey.... (repeats)
