Vindicated
by Marika

Album: The Marika EP

A girl came home with ponytails and ribbons in her hair.
Another came with fishing sails, dragging kitchen chairs.
The first began her homework, drawing hearts for every "o,"
The other started feeding every stool out the window.

Distracted from her card games by the noises from upstairs,
As the second girl was stacking up a citadel of chairs.
Finally, two ponytails peered out to see the fall,
Of the butterfly that rather hit the ground that any wall.

Vindicated, She'll never be underrated,
Never hold her down...

A girl came home with summer tassels holding someone's hand,
Another came with dinghy paddles dragging bags of sand.
The first began to know him for his cunning and his game,
The other broke the closet door she used to hide him in.

Vindicated, She'll never be underrated,
Never hold her down...

Heading back to my place, it's a party, it's alright.
The morning carries both of us out to the waterside.
She's handing me the paddles on the closet door and becks,
(I'm forgiven / I'll forgive you) but it won't untie these weights around (my / your) neck.

Vindicated, (She'll / I'll) never be underrated,
Never hold (her / me) down...
