lyrics

I keep the memory of you on an old click-wheel ipod. You're packed inside a box and your battery is dead, with all of the songs I'm too embarrassed to sing. You are the sad sound or shorelines. You are the cringing smile or growing up.

You are old faces no longer young. You are the mistakes and the towns that I'm from. You are concrete and salty air, Massachusetts sidewalks broken by roots. You are the boxes of books that I always pack whenever I move but never read.

Home is a pen running out of ink, and every letter leaves less there. Home is a text you forgot to read from people you miss but you never see. Home is a letter on birthdays sometimes, Facebook statuses skimmed at night. Home are friends, weathered like stones, gathered for drinks, and hiding with jokes.
