You fell in love with the sunshine |
And you took a walk with a boy |
You spent half a year on the verge of tears |
Just because nothing ever feels like it did before |
So now I understand if you’re bitter |
Frankly sometimes I do feel the same |
It’s amazing how in your own homes how the comfort and the pain |
Well they just grow |
This is the field where I realized I loved you |
And they just grow |
This is the diner where we learned that people die before their time sometimes |
The impermanence of it all |
Don’t you let it make you feel too very small |
We saw new constellations with each observation |
The night sky grows bigger it seems |
But under our ceilings is much more revealing |
You’ll find what we found in our dreams |
And I dreamt that all my old friends got together again |
Had a potluck or something, somewhere that we’ve never been |
And we settle and it’s so strange |
The way that people in situations change |
You got caught up in some crazy current |
Now it seems as though we speak a completely different language |
But you’ll always be as beautiful as the moment that we met |
And so I tried to write a song for my father |
San francisco bus ride that take way too long |
He said «you're coming back home boy |
Don’t feel so alone |
Love yourself and you’ll do no wrong.» |
But the interstate and life go on and on |
And on and on and on and on |
And I wrote my dad a nice blackbox recording |
Just to hear what people say |
When they realize what’s coming |
About a second or so away |
He said, «it starts with 'oh shit' and it ends with 'I'm sorry'» |
And it plays in his head all the time |
And I’m not oh and it’s so crazy |
The ways we all sabotage our very own peace of mind |
