Navy & Cream
U.S. Girls Lyrics

Since the beginning of time
Throughout history, people have been curious about the space in between things.

People been wondering about the space in between
This gap has been a subject of contemplation for generations.

They've been turning it over in their minds
People have been thinking deeply about it.

Trying to figure out the end they will meet
They're attempting to understand their ultimate destination.

Skies of navy and cream
The atmosphere is overcast with dark blue clouds mixed with lighter ones.

A sweet storm rising up to take me back to the nest
An impending storm is bringing a sense of nostalgia and peace.

When I wanna do something I do it, ride it to the end
The singer takes risks and follows through on their desires.

I ain't backing down
They're not afraid of confrontation.

I'll ride you all, all over town
They're adventurous and want to experience everything.

I go to pieces when I feel I'm running, she said
The artist falls apart under pressure or when they feel like they're losing control.

I go to pieces, I'm running away
Their response is to run away from the situation.

I go to pieces feeling distances increasing, yeah
The further away they get from a problem, the more overwhelmed they feel.

A skill that's hard to master
Some abilities are difficult to learn.

One that completely passed her up on the road
The singer missed out on mastering this skill.

Skipping generations like a stone thrown hard
This talent has been missed by multiple generations.

At her window, a break yet unknown
A sudden disruption that can not be anticipated.

Now she wants a tattoo of a tear drop on her finger
The artist wants a permanent reminder of a past emotional experience.

But it won't fix a thing
The tattoo won't actually solve the underlying problem.

Her child is her, her enemy
The singer's own child is causing issues.

I go to pieces when I feel I'm running, she said
The artist falls apart under pressure or when they feel like they're losing control.

I go to pieces, I'm running away
Their response is to run away from the situation.

I go to pieces feeling distances increasing, yeah
The further away they get from a problem, the more overwhelmed they feel.

I go to pieces when I feel I'm running, she said (all over town)
The singer falls apart when they can't keep up with their adventurous spirit.

I go to pieces, I'm running away (I'll ride you all over town)
They're avoiding problems by staying on the move and exploring.

I go to pieces feeling distances increasing, yeah (all over town)
The more they roam, the more they feel a sense of disconnection.

I go to pieces, I feel I'm running away, she said (her child is her enemy)
The singer is trying to escape the issues their child is causing.

I go to pieces when I feel I'm running, she said (her enemy)
The singer falls apart under pressure when dealing with their child.

I go to pieces, I'm running away (her child is her enemy)
Their response to their child's behavior is to avoid it.

I go to pieces feeling distances increasing, yeah (her enemy)
The problems with their child cause the artist to feel increasingly disconnected.
