We were so white, so clean, so sure Do you remember anymore? We used to run through fields that had no names, And light a thousand paper suns and give them all away. The sky was not a metaphor, it was just wide and true I was made of colour once, before I learned to lose. I kept a box of colours under my childhood bed, And every shade of life was bright and gold and red. Now all my colours run together into something grey I can't find the child I was before she slipped away. Primary, it was all so primary, Before the grey, before the weight, before the ordinary. Primary, red and clean and bright and new, I am still looking for the version of me that knew. Where did that girl go? Where did she go? I found a photograph I didn't know I kept, A girl with dirty knees who hadn't learned to be bereft. She's laughing at a thing I can't remember anymore, And looking at the camera like the world has no closed doors. I pressed my thumbprint on her face to see if something stayed But photographs are exits. They don't let you back inside. Primary, it was all so primary, Before the grey, before the weight, before the ordinary. Primary, red and clean and bright and new, I am still looking for the version of me that knew. Where did that girl go? Where did she go? She's still in there, I think. Under all the learned weight, under all the careful grey. She still runs through fields with no names. She still gives her paper suns away. She doesn't know yet what the world will take. Primary, it was all so primary, I am still looking, still looking, still looking for you.
