Song For Ana

You kept me out 'til sunrise
Calling my school, faking sick on a Tuesday
You weren’t the best, but you were the first
That’s what made it special, what made it hurt
Then one day you cut your hair and boarded a plane
I should have put a crumpled twenty in your pocket before they sent you away
Ana, I heard you calling
You were saying something I couldn’t make out
I think you said, «I'm terrified cause time is finite.»
You drilled an hourglass into your arm to try to make it stay
As for me?
I think I’m pretty much the same these days
I get obsessed with distance, stuck on space
Maybe no one gets lost anymore, just comfortably displaced
When you pictured it, did it look anything like this?
Was there some detail that you might have missed?
When you pictured it, did it look anything like this?
Did it all turn out in a way that you might have wished?
Ana, I heard you calling
You were saying something I couldn’t make out
Oh, I heard you calling
What were you saying?
