"Endless revisions in my mind"

Candy says I've come to hate my body
and all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
what others so discreetly talk about
  I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly over my shoulder
  I'm gonna watch them pass me by
  Maybe when I'm older
  What do you think I'd see
  If I could walk away from me
Candy says I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind
  I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly over my shoulder
  I'm gonna watch them pass me by
  Maybe when I'm older
  What do you think I'd see
  If I could walk away from me
