when it doesn’t work out, you say, ‘well, why don’t we just go and jump in a volcano?’
and I say, ‘ok’
and you look at me like my face is filled with sparklers and you’ve never seen a sparkler before
so we lock eyes and clamp hands and run really fast together
all over this gosh darn country, all over this continent
we even run through the channel and my hair gets wet and starts slapping on my neck
but I don’t even mind because we are running to find this volcano, wherever it is
and then we find one, we do and you look at me and I look at you
and we jump in grinning
and flare up like fireworks

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN THIS DAY?!
Look at that motherfucking sun, being all out and about and sassy and shit!
Look at those clouds OH WAIT YOU CAN’T THERE AREN’T ANY
Yeah, bitch, feel that? That is what we call a TEMPERATE APPARENT TEMPERATURE
Feel that motherfucking wind all stroking your face all soft and what not!
What’s that? Yeah, that’s warm bitumen for you to sit your fine ass down on!
Hear those kids? THAT IS THE SOUND OF CELEBRATION, MY FRIEND
Fuck yeah, grass, you grow like a trill bitch!
Did you hear that sunflowers don’t actually follow the path of the sun?
WELL FUCK YOU, SUNFLOWERS, COS I DO
Yeah, you just watch me get on my bike and put my HAPPY DOG FACE ON
YEAH GET ME SOME OF THAT WIND IN MY FACE
Sunflowers, you should really get into this shit, it is DAMN FINE
FUCK YEAH YOU GUYS
SUNNY DAY IN MARCH
GLOBAL WARMING WINS AGAIN
