lyrics

There was that summer where everyone fell out of love. We all went fucking crazy, smoked too much and Alex dropped out. He had to move back home and I ran out west to Chicago. I stayed in Graham's apartment, watching trains, and writing love songs. I slept on a blow up mattress dreaming I was somewhere else.

You can count my age in dead pets and temporary beds I've slept in. I'm regrets and lost to-do lists, built from things I'll never be.

That same summer we finally had to put my dog down. And we could all tell the dog we loved had disappeared. They said the meds she took made it quick and completely painless. That's when I realized I'd end up the same as her: Laying there alone and helpless not knowing where I was going.

You could fill a playlist with all the songs that I could never sing. My tone deaf voice and heart aren't good enough. The things you love will wear you down.
