jolly ranchers - maeve noiré lyrics

mom said she’d be back in a minute or two
kissed me like bubblegum, locked me in view
said, “be a good girl,” with a wink and a grin
i watched her go shopping, still buckled in

the leather was warm, the glass was all glare
a pony beside me slumped dead in her chair
two candies in pockets—my comfort, my friends
one grape, one red—the beginning, the end

it’s hot like a hug i don’t want anymore
my juice box collapsed on the car seat floor
countеd to sixty, my voice got small—
i’m still being good, that’s all

i’m melting likе jolly ranchers on my tongue
dripping down seatbelts and sticking to lungs
purple and cherry and cinnamon screams
sugar*glass windows and heatstroke dreams
my hair sticks to my skin like melted sweets
my dress clings tight, stained with purple bleeds
afraid mom will get mad, my brand new dress stained—
but good little girls don’t complain

my hair’s in my eyes, my dress clings like glue
the red one is soft now, bleeding right through
i reached for my pony, the buckle said no
sunlight’s a spotlight, but n0body shows
the world outside ripples, a carnival flame
the radio’s silent, won’t say my name
i sing to myself so i don’t disappear
a song only sweat and candy can hear

each breath is syrup, each blink is a fight
i close my eyes to block out the light
maybe if i melt real slow
she’ll notice i let go

i’m melting like jolly ranchers in the heat
puddled in flavors that stick to the seat
grape turns to silence, cherry to shame
i taste like a promise she never claimed
my hair sticks to my skin like melted sweets
my dress clings tight, stained with purple bleeds
afraid mom will get mad, my brand new dress stained—
but good little girls don’t complain

maybe she’ll cry when she opens the door
or maybe i’ll drip straight into the floor
they’ll say it’s an accident, say she forgot
but candy that melts can’t say a lot

(hush now, hush now)
sticky sweet sigh
(you were her favorite)
don’t ask why
i melted like jolly ranchers in the sun—
quiet and quiet ‘til i came undone
no rescue, no water, no saving grace
just fingerprints fused to the glass in my place
my hair sticks to my skin like melted sweets
my dress clings tight, stained with purple bleeds
afraid mom will get mad, my brand new dress stained—
but good little girls don’t complain

maybe i’ll take a nap
and when i wake up
i’ll be somewhere cooler
