"I hit my peak at 7 feet over the creek i was too afraid to jump in" like how beautiful it is that she was too afraid to swim/drown she literally flew over the river "honey when I'm above the trees i see it for what it is"

Also like happiness sounds so mature and understanding but the first line is referencing seven where she's a kid and can throw tantrums and run wild "i see it for what it is" but now "she's right down in it" and she's trying to be understanding about it but still doesn't get it and is lowkey angry about it "sorry i can't see facts through all of my fury"

"we look at the world once, in childhood. the rest is memory"

She was dancing and she showed him her hiding spots both kind of childish things then she's crying into her pillow instead of the grocery store and can't face reinventing herself or meeting the new person he's with

BUT ALSO "there is happiness past the blood and bruise past the curses and cries beyond the terror in the nightfall" BECAUSE these exist in childhood too!! maybe even define some people's childhoods. she talks about it in seven!! And then there's "i hope she'll be a beautiful fool" which is what daisy in great gatspy says she hopes her kid turns out to be "growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all"
