about

uhhhhhhh
this is a song about airplanes and the thoughts u have on them
this is a song about western massachusetts
this is a song about rome
this is a song about summer shifting to fall
this is a song about a few people i know
this is a song about leaving home. again. and again. and again
this is a song about drying your eyes in front of a painting by caspar david friedrich in berlin
this is a song about unbearable anxiety
this is a song about bearing it (and baring it)
bearing it all.

lyrics

lyrics:

hey man
i hope you’re doing well
the time has passed too far to tell
i hope you don’t miss me too much
i lie, but why? you see my crutch
[i dreamt a ladder ten miles high
i climbed up rung by rung to find
a cloud afloat in dawn-lit sky
somewhere you’re all still by my side]

we love, we learn, we find a reason
we turn and burn, just like the seasons
two roads diverge
pray someday that they’ll merge

*boom*

if you could tell me why you felt you had to go
we would be saying what we already know
i thought you were the kind of boy who doesn’t leave
how could i be so naive?


i did a drug, i’m feeling weird
tonight, just might confront some fear
we talk, we leap into the pool
i kiss you like a fleeing fool
there’s elephants up in your room
don’t talk about that autumn doom
i built a bridge that leads to ya
but you swore off social media

we love, we learn, we find a reason
we turn and burn, just like the seasons
you say it’s fine
but your eyes can’t lie.

*boom*

if i could tell you why i felt i had to go
we would be saying what we already know
i would only be in town a couple months
too afraid to take the plunge
if i could tell you why i felt i had to go
we would be saying what we already know
i would only be in town a couple months
but you opened me up


hmmm, hmmmm....
