If I were born a boy, they were gonna call me joey
Once they got to know me
They all called me joey
I would watch the lovers, to see which one I was
The boy puts his arm round the girl on the couch
So thatâs what I âd dream of
A love I could touch
That could touch me
I hope I donât exhaust you, like I exhaust myself
With the changing and the shifting
And becoming someone else
See thatâs the wrong me
Not joey, and not me.
These long summer days
I'm old enough to love them
Iâm lying on my back
And you are there above me
These short summer nights
Iâm old enough to love them
Iâm lying on my back
I try to let you come in
This is what she told me
Itâs me and itâs me only
Who could be this kind of holy
Mix of me and joey
So I grew up believing
The world was meant for me
And now I âm old enough to love
These fleeting summer evenings.
