This is the first song on my upcoming concept album about my mom's battle with cancer, escapism and hope. It's about growing up with anxiety I didn't know I had.
Artist: Maia Rowan
Songwriter: Maia Rowan
Produced by: Maia Rowan, James Jackson
Lyrics:
Dad said your heart won’t stop like the cat’s heart stopped
But I still won’t use the towel that he died on
Falling asleep on a pull-out couch and listening to frogs
It was a summer heatwave we swam all day then dried off in the yard
And the sky was so blue
the sky was so blue
And I’m just a person
Who lives in a big yellow house
up on fern street
I’m trying to figure it out
I like mysteries but I want to know how it ends
I was scared to sleep by hotel windows and swim in indoor pools
But I wrote a letter to Obama saying I want to be like you
I’d stay awake til I was too tired to be scared I’d die in my sleep
Cause who am I to put my trust in an electric meat machine
When it makes me blue
It makes me blue
And I’m just a person
Who lives in a big yellow house
up on fern street
I’m trying to figure it out
I like mysteries but I want to know how it ends
And I’m just a person
Who lives in a big yellow house
up on fern street
and sometimes I freak myself out
and you tell me it’ll all be okay in the end
And we drove up to Julie’s a couple months before she died
And I would’ve asked her a million questions if she hadn’t been eaten alive
Instead I just went to her funeral second funeral of my life
And I really don’t want to have to do that another time
Cause I’d get so blue
I’d get so blue
And I’m just a person
Who lives in a big yellow house
up on fern street
I’m trying to figure it out
I like mysteries but I want to know how it ends
And I’m just a person
Who lives in a big yellow house
up on fern street
and sometimes I freak myself out
and you tell me it’ll all be okay in the end
I’m picking at the carpet
You’re sitting in your chair
The possibility of cancer
Dad says life isn’t fair
