goner 03:51
I know that you don't like me and that's okay I know you don't think about me and I feel the same that night you called me 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

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 streets 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 everyday 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 streets 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

stoop life 06:56
I've been sitting on my stoop every night on Chauncey Street drinking beer and smoking weed thinking about all the people in between these phases of my life people I've lost and who I've left behind people I'll never see again who I once considered my close friends and I haven't figured out much but I've learned how to take life day by day sometimes it takes all that I've got to know that everything will be okay I cried when I told my dad I was moving back to California and I lied when I told my ex-best friend that I forgave him but mid-flight I know I'll miss the lights of the friends I leave behind so tonight let's try to make things right I'm sorry, this is goodbye I've never felt this old in my entire life but I'm young enough so it's alright cuz though my back may hurt when I get off work and my legs may ache and want to break and on the train ride back to Bed-Stuy my mind is tethered to a sleepless heap of flesh and bone and varicose veins the struggle somehow keeps me sane I'm sorry you heard it from me but the winter's too cold in this city and the buildings so tall are no forrest at all I can't see New York for the trees and I know it sucks but it's true I'm probably leaving here just for you but that's too much to swallow I swear that I'll call every day I am coming home soon I cried when I told my dad I was moving back to California and I lied when I told my ex-best friend that I forgave him but mid-flight I know I'll miss the lights of the friends I leave behind so tonight let's try to make things right I'm sorry, this is goodbye

cool breeze 06:37
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
