it’s a slow hollowing out of experience cutting back the wisteria on the porch of the house i grew up in sneak out the window / ash in the gutter move in september keep coming back every summer i never strain to remember / never been good at pretending i always knew what I wanted but never knew how to get it was sleeping thru adolescence i never planned for it ending now I’m worried about making my parents proud so embarrassed of the time i spent figuring out i’m just scared to keep replaying the same sounds and then everything comes crashing down what am i learning looking back it feels so long would you look at that still feel so young baby thats a fact i still feel crazy looking back twelve am and I’m just leaving work and I’m driving to pine street you’re losing sleep just to see me couple shots of tequila in a mcdonald’s fanta you keep asking me questions i don’t have any answers now i’m worried bout what i never said allow way too late to go back and figure this shit out lie awake roll the same syllables around my mouth and then everything comes crashing down what am i learning looking back it feels so long would you look at that still feel so young long baby thats a fact i still feel crazy looking back what am i learning looking back i feel so blue would u look at that i been gone so long baby that’s a fact i still feel crazy looking back

followed my friends as far as the walk would take down to the river and back round to the lake behind the college / but schools not in session hand rolled smokes no one sees us swim rode my bike down here when i got the call cause he’d overdosed just after texting us all i love you, make music forever knew i’d see him again cause he woke up sweating in the ambulance, or the hospital pumped his stomach was out of school that fall walked to the lake with his girlfriend told me she wished she’d beat him to it i felt so small walked down here for the party following your friends and they’d set up already made it four beers in when the cops came we went back to your dorm when everybody ran rolled in your bed awake till early morning but i never told you all these stories gave you fragments but kept the best for myself hard to feel homesick till everyone’s laid to rest got the message from an old friend today don’t tell you / don’t talk to you anyway who cares if someone else is gone close myself in keep on moving on like the tape’s stuck on repeat new pictures same old screen like the way it’s always been i feel the valley closing in and i’m sewn into the hem and i’m losing u again like i’m chasing how i felt before i felt like someone else i keep thinking i’ll see old roommates at a red light same honda’s same bumper stickers same license plates make eye contact then look away real quick drive the same streets I always did meet the same people always thinking one day i’ll be more like them someday i’ll get better then

you drive to the liquor store you’re taking the long way round like you don’t know where you’re going like you haven’t been there before you said i should be nicer even to people you don’t know i’m just talking behind their back but you still think i could be kinder i said that i quit smoking i still keep a pack of camel blues on the windowsill told me you should really get going but you’re still undressed pass out in the living room you’re up at dawn in your too small bed text me photos of the sunrise i won’t act surprised when you’re sending them to somebody else instead you say that i’ve had too much to drink that’s ok you’re probably right but if i was sober would you still be coming over every friday night we can hold ourselves together with whispered prayers for what comes next flicking ash out of the windows giving all the world our our best in the morning i’ll know better in the morning i can rest i don’t think when we’re together i can finally hang my head i don’t need somewhere to go to feel alright i can feel alright at home if i’m with you

sorry i was so incoherent didn’t know what I wanted to say shouldn’t have had so much to drink shouldn’t have taken that pill before you came i’m just hoping you can you can talk me down again always knowing better but still live inconsistently you leave my side as i’m leaving my body can’t read your mind looked like you’d been drinking, glass eyes patient sinking, last time i’d been inching, closer to the part of you who held out past your bedtime, to see me knowing you’d find i was spending my time as if i was someone new
