Fourth Grade from Wetsuit by Leah Dunn

My father called me yesterday
He likes to keep me up to date
I daydream while he’s talking to me

He said, “Kids are getting hit by trains.”
I was thinking of the summer rain
I might have ADHD

I see my hands reflect and
I forget that I belong to them
It feels like I’m watching TV

I know that it’s a side effect
Of overthinking what I said
but it’s too hard to just let it be

Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

My room smells like peppermint
I think that I imagined it
Someone come and knock me out, please

Remember when I learned to drive
God, I'm so lucky I’m alive
I need to be reminded to breathe

My friends wait up for me when
It’s harder getting out of bed
Even when they’ve got somewhere to be

If I’m sad, then Ben will yell,
“Fuck you! You should love yourself!”
Somehow he gets a smile out of me

Because life's been moving fast since fourth grade
And I've been moving slow since that day
Life’s been moving fast since fourth grade
And I've been moving slow since that day
Life’s been moving fast since fourth grade
And I've been moving slow since that day
Life’s been moving fast since fourth grade
And I've been moving slow since that day
Life’s been moving fast since fourth grade
And I've been moving slow since that day
Life’s been moving fast since fourth grade
And I've been moving slow since that day
