The Rockaways |
Scared of everything |
Everything’s on blast |
Never travel light |
I carry the past |
In an armored car |
That’s my skeleton |
Worship one idea |
Like a superfan |
In a gallery |
With a slanted view |
There’s a book signing |
Dystopian haikus |
As they’re read out loud |
Under Edison lights |
Makes me scratch my head |
And think of simpler times |
Borrowed a car for the day |
We drove it out to The Rockaways |
And you went swimming |
I watched you swimming |
I’m made of money now |
There’s nothing I want |
Except expensive wine |
To watch the rocket launch |
We’ll climb up on the roof |
And sit in plastic chairs |
Watch it accelerate |
Until it disappears |
Just like your goodbye voice |
Trailing off down the hall |
I love you, baby |
I’ll be back in one hour |
You’ll try and smile then |
Sometimes it doesn’t stick |
I’ll help you tune it out |
I’ll help you reminisce |
Borrowed a car for the day |
Filled it up with some friends I’d made |
And they went dancing |
I watched them dancing |
Don’t feel badly |
I’m barely angry |
It’s not too much to contain |
Always knew that |
It’d probably happen |
We’d put these memories to shame |
Borrowed a car for the day |
Gassed it up for our getaway |
Said you’d be waiting |
I left you waiting |
