lyrics

i was dreaming about a going away party
with free cupcakes
we walked up to the boy departing -
your chin resting on my shoulder,
and something running up my thigh

i never thought of us like that,
it's funny how sleep can impress those feelings
but when i woke up i got started and i quickly screwed it up.
i guess that's just how i'm used to it

like the catamaran i built in sixth grade for regatta day, we are a boat poorly made
it's something you can snap in two with silence and side-eyes, and i don't even care - i hated wood shop anyway

so i don't want to hear about yr record, the production just bums me out. but if i'm being honest, i'm jealous that i'm not doing all of the things that i thought i would. so i guess i'll just go back to fishing the sky and steps and numbers and all of the songs that hit me harder than anything i've heard out of you lately. but don't go saying that you know about the place i live, 'cause you don't live here. you've been here once. and just because you like some bands it doesn't mean that you're connected. and that's coming from someone who, i'd venture to say, is not connected.
