Alex the Astronaut – Haircut Lyrics

 

Haircut Lyrics by Alex the Astronaut

 

Stand up look around smile like you’ve already made it
We dive in don’t think blinking off the salt on our faces
I’ve looked up at falling autumn leaves
I’ve watched 17 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy
I’ve got cold hands and cold feet
But I don’t regret anything

We walked from the sea
To where the party lights flicker
And the hymn of la la la la la la rings
One day I’ll lose you and you’ll lose me
What if right now we win?

Cause since I cut my hair I’ve been feeling so much better
It was more than that
Now the mirror looks back
And I feel like who I am supposed to
Do you know that feeling?
Like the lights are up and you’re the best thing they’ve seen ever
Do your favourite dance
You can hold my hand
Turn around
Like everybody loves you
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves you

Hot chips, Uno cards, books I should have already read
They keep stacking up I should just stop buying them
We drove to the mountains for two days
I tried to roll down the window but Gina’s car’s breaking
We walked and talked through the old trees and the old wind

We never made it to the glow worms cave
Ten tourists with their backpacks trying to find their way
And late one night I told you
what I was trying to find the right wine to say

That since I cut my hair I’ve been feeling so much better
It was more than that
Now the mirror looks back
And I feel like who I am supposed to
Do you know that feeling?
Like the lights are up and you’re the best thing they’ve seen ever
Do your favourite dance
You can hold my hand
Turn around
Like everybody loves you
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves you

I do feel a weight on me
Buying a men’s shirt there’s a shame
I’m still scared of the mean girls from year eight
It’s more than fabric it’s more than thread

Is there a place for me?
Which streets? have you seen a place for me?
I’m better but I don’t always feel safe
I’m trying really hard to be brave

So I’ll stand up look around smile like I know how to take it
Dive in don’t think this is our stage and we’ve made it
I’ll write I’m not a boy or a girl
I’m still filling that in
A sandcastle I’m building bit by bit
One day you’ll lose me
So tonight let’s win

‘Cause since I cut my hair I’ve been feeling so much better
It was more than that
Now the mirror looks back
And I feel like who I am supposed to
Do you know that feeling?
Like the lights are up and you’re the best thing they’ve seen ever
Do your favourite dance
You can hold my hand
Turn around like
Like everybody loves you
Everybody loves me
Everybody loves you
Everybody loves me
Like everybody loves me
Everybody loves you
