A+ A- |
they've got different smiles.
did you know that?
most people don't.
i'm not sure why i do,
not sure why i was able to
distinguish him from her.
because in the eyes of their friends
and family, too,
they're one and the same.
their the scapegoat
the ones around for a laugh
and, i don't know why,
i can suddenly see they're more than that.
she's the artist
with gentle hands and a fire smile
he's the musician
with loudloud laugh and thoughts of flying.
people say
here come the Elbor siblings.
are the Elbor kids home?
did you hear about the Elbors…?
but she's sam and he's lucas and i know,
i know too well
that they don't want to be known that way.
they want to be known for their
gentle hands and loudloud laugh
and fire smile and thoughts of flying
and they want to be known as
her and him
instead of each other.
