this song kinda makes me cringe, one because i'm off pitch sometimes and two because i use the word palpitating..... but it felt important to include
lyrics
Running my fingers down your scalp
Checking for strands that need help
Glossy and smooth
Most they are
Some stick up from a static charge
All the many of textures of your hair
Wispy or stiff or completely bare
When your hair gets in your face
I see many textures interplay
Stroking your head with my palm
The depth of its hues makes me calm
Each strand of hair shines, I stare
Palpitating I take a closer look
All the many textures of your hair
Straight across bangs and your subtle layers
I like when your hair gets in your face
I gently push it back into place
