We sat in front of the street light we smoked and talked at
And reminisced about the times we used to smoke and talk and
Sit in front of the street light we smoked and talked at
It feels the same now but just a little different
The problems are the same
They just have different names
If I could go back to when I was younger
Would I even change a thing?
Sure, I’ve got regrets
But they brought me here so they can’t be too bad
I miss blazing down the backroads of my hometown
Music blaring, J rolled up, windows rolled down
I was free back then in a way that I’m not now
I was a modern asshole cowboy or something
Living hit to hit, round to round
I was free back then, I was American
I was free back then, I was the middle and the end
I was free back then
I was free back then
I was free back then
I was free or something
And if I could go back
If I could go back

Sometimes my mind goes back in time from time to time
I didn’t realize until I realized that things aren’t always cut and dry
And that’s okay and that’s all right, I’m here for you while you cry
Tomorrow you’ll text, “I’m sorry, drunk,” and I’ll reply
“Nbd, we good yo,” or “Hey, it’s fine”
Whatever feels right at the time
How am I supposed to swim upstream
With all these ghosts following me?
The crescendos they were stirring
The movements were goddamn literary
But the soft spots were depressing
And the fortes they were petty when they should have been profound
But all that doesn’t matter now
Touching shit while wearing a rubber glove still feels like touching shit
And pissing on some ashes don’t make that match unlit
There are things that we both wish we didn’t have to live with
There are things that we both wish we could have done different
There are things that we both wanna do but know that we’d regret
But the river of life goes on, and it’s taking us with it

And I’ve been wondering if electric sockets
And car keys plug in because so do we
And I’ve been wondering
If I got into you because you got into me
And I don’t remember the circumstances
Or what you said
And I’m sorry for that
But it made me feel like my life might not be over
I spent the whole summer in solitude
Yeah, me and 20 B, we ruled the shit hole we called home
But it sure felt nice to not be sleeping alone
It must be understood that I wasn’t in love either
I just thought that if you wanted we would walk wayward together
It was respect for a friend, for an unspoken tradition
Or, you know, somebody that I knew, know, knew, but we both know
Sometimes hearts are supposed to heal alone, now aren’t they?
Sometimes hearts are supposed to heal alone
Sometimes hearts are supposed to heal alone
At least ours are

It’s always cold as Hell
That connotation reverse just works so well
And I’ve been living these placeholder days
Like a robot, robotically, frighteningly close to the same way
I always kinda sorta expect-dreaded life would end up feeling like
Wake up do what’s absolutely necessary, then all I have to do is survive the night
All I have to do is survive
But that’s not meant to be an excuse
I did some shit that’s been hard to own up to
The shows and parties I’d avoid feeling freaked by
Throwing my whole fucking life into a blur
To clean up later
But I’m not gonna defend
Nights I don’t remember or ones I can’t forget
No, I’m not gonna defend
Or make excuses for acting like a shitty human
Just wanna sorry, it’s something on which I’m working

The Winter Won

The winter won
And I’m just gonna sit here and hope that I unthaw
Before the snow melts and the city floods
And I’m out of excuses, and I’m out of blood
Drained, like all my money
The lights, the loans, the lists the lease
Drained, like all my energy
The fifths, the fourths, the forty hour weeks
And these three degrees are starting to feel warm to me
So reach out, start loving
The cold, the cold is coming
The winter won
And I”m just gonna sit here and hope that I unthaw
Before the train comes so it can sing me to sleep
I’ll need all the rest I can get
TOMORROW TO ETERNITY

I can see everything from up here
The places that I used to spend my days
The past, present, and almost the future
Man, it’s so weird to be back here
And I’ve hit rock bottom
I felt the floor crack
And I’ve been to Heaven
I’ve been to Hell and back
And after all of that
There’s only one thing I know for sure
When you think you’re good, always take one more
It’s important to remind yourself you’re not a part of this world
WE’RE JUST HERE ON BUSINESS
Oh, I can see everything from up here
Our high school, your house, that river
The inclines and the descents
The perfect days and the perfect regrets
The things I don’t remember
And the things I can’t forget
But EVERY INCLINE HAS A DESCENT

As A Lark Ypsilanti, Michigan
They have more elaborate calls than most birds, and often extravagant songs given in display flight. These melodious sounds (to human ears), combined with a willingness to expand into anthropogenic habitats — as long as these are not too intensively managed — have ensured larks a prominent place in literature and music. ... more
