Goner 03:33
I know that you don’t like me and that’s okay I know you don’t think about me, yeah I feel the same that night you called me a goner and I’m still here but I don’t think I’ll stick around another year I took a walk downtown in the summer heat I bought myself iced coffee and I stopped to read I felt so independent out on my own then I looked up and saw you laughing on the phone feel like I’m running in circles but I’m standing still don’t think I’ll make it but keep telling myself that I will the constant silence of my room will be my end go to shows alone and know that I’ll be with my friends
2.
I’ll stop saying I’m fine when I start feeling okay maybe I could feel great if I could just say the things I’ve been wanting to say it’s fucked up how I never miss you when you’re gone and when you’re here sometimes I feel nothing at all let’s not get ahead of ourselves you’re moving away well maybe it’s just as well yeah I think it’s time we call it in I’m sorry my sense of commitment isn’t as strong as your parents’ I’ll stop saying I’m fine when I start feeling okay maybe I could feel great if I could just say the things I’ve been wanting to say I’ll stop saying I’m fine when I start feeling okay maybe I could feel great if I could just say the things I’ve been wanting to say like how long should I have to wait we’ve both held back premonitions and expressions of hate and yeah we both knew it would end this way but I know I’ve made bigger mistakes yeah I know I’ve made bigger mistakes

I remember sitting in your bedroom in Santa Cruz the day I told you that this would never be the same we leave this town we leave the past and our friends behind and it’s impossible to know what we’ll find so what did you learn in the city the skyline and the lights are all so pretty but the ice in the street and the snow in our sheets has made my bones brittle my lungs feel little and it’s hard to breathe and it’s hard to believe this could ever happen to me I remember at Lennox House saying goodbye and on my drunk walk home I hung my head and cried leaning on a fire hydrant on Chestnut Street I hope my friend looks down on me and I hope she knows I’ve missed her every day and I hope she can hear as I call out her name so what did you learn in the city the skyline and the lights are all so pretty but the ice in the street and the snow in our sheets has made my bones brittle my lungs feel little and it’s hard to breathe and it’s hard to believe this could ever happen to me I remember at Newark Airport I almost thought you wouldn’t come back so on New Jersey Transit back to Penn Station alone in my room in my Brooklyn apartment I waited for your name to light up my phone and I fell asleep knowing you were back home
4.
it’s almost three in the morning and I feel like I’m just starting to get to know you though I have known you for a long time we’ve been sitting in this booth for hours the lights around the town have long gone dark and the bartender is yelling last call you don’t wanna go back to your place I don’t wanna go back to mine you’ve got some things you’ve left unsaid I’ve got problems I’m trying to hide can we walk outside through light pollution, empty streets I count the times our faces meet I put my arm around you and our footsteps fall in sync I wish I’d never left New York I wish I’d never left New York I want to see your face every day I know I’m going home so far away but I miss you when I’m with her and I miss you when I’m alone and i miss you when I’m on the phone with my dad now we’re turning the corner to your apartment my heart is racing, don’t know how to stop it but I know better than to push it I’m not just a friend I am your friend tell me something beautiful I need to remember what it’s like to feel vulnerable in someone’s arms instead of just feeling tired I’m not trying to seduce you I’d just like to spend the night awake together I think we can make each other better

Cool Breeze 04:13
living in our parents houses is getting old all our friends moved out of our hometowns it’s a forty minute drive into the city I think I’d rather kill myself than look for parking oh La Cienega, oh Sunset Strip Laurel Canyon, the La Brea Tar Pits a waxing moon over Griffith Park think I could live here if I had a car I drove to Orange County on a whim to see you and fix this rut we’re in I know it’s stressful wondering what comes next it’s getting harder to keep trying my best from our motel room we could hear the waves we crash into each other and get displaced things will be better soon, I know it’s true so many great things will happen to you we packed all of our stuff into your car couldn’t see out the back windshield, hope the engine starts at a rest stop north of Santa Barbara we tried to feel the cool breeze of a new era I crashed on couches for about three weeks you started your new job in a neighboring city now we’re just trying to make the pieces fit waiting for that moment that tells you this is it this is it, this is it this is it, this is it this is it, this is it this is it, this is it

Sincerity 03:17
my friend died three years ago today I woke up and went to work and then came home and I did nothing fourth of July managed to drink enough to speak I tried to impress somebody but I don’t think it is working no I don’t think this is working spilling my guts on my therapist’s couch for fifty bucks and hour I can leave here feeling empowered sip down a milkshake on the walk home lie down let me get my phone out three notifications I’m feeling impatient I am waiting for someone to call me I am waiting for a message that says please come over I’ll meet you at the bar I’ll meet you at the show just don’t leave me here alone all my friends have the most beautiful intentions Amber’s telling me to listen to Elliott Smith pre-Figure 8 and I think I almost get it yeah it’s pretty fucking great but no one wants to feel lonely on a Tuesday it’s your day off and the grey finally cleared away you can see across the whole bay and you’re sitting on the cliff because it has the clearest view and the notion falls upon you like a flash flood you’re here because this is what you wanted
