Run fast,
Holding the hand of your sister, who makes out with your man
I can’t say I wanna be you right now
Readin’
Poems and books that your dad wrote to keep you on track of your life boat
That's sailing away to the edge
You’re making love on top of the grave,
Writing ghost stories inside the rain,
Losing your baby and can’t make another,
You’re making love on the grave of your mother
You’re making love on top of the grave,
Paperback novels startin’ to fade,
Baby stops breathing beside you in bed,
So you’re making young love in the graveyard instead
Too much
Sharing the world with your fake blood that’s staining the carpets
I know you only from what’s been passed down
All gone
Milk that you made has gone sour, you’re thirsty to drink it
I can’t say I wanna be you tonight
You’re making love on top of the grave,
Paperback novels startin’ to fade,
Baby stops breathing beside you in bed,
So you’re making young love in the graveyard instead
Sure, Shelley,
You got it very right,
Mary can see the times passing by,
I know you like it
Sure, Shelley,
You got it very right,
Mary can see the times passing by,
I know you like it,
I know you like it,
I know,
I know,
I know you like that
You’re making love on top of the grave,
Paperback novels startin’ to fade,
Baby stops breathing beside you in bed,
So you’re making young love in the graveyard instead.

Amanda likes tape hiss, poppy hooks, playful lyrics and reflecting on the systems we live in. Comfy on keys, and always makes room for a dance. Sum's debut album, New Age Attitudes, is out now.
