lyrics

Now, summer weather hear me out, but you’re not the friend I need right now
Go away, please, and stay.

These winter months are much warmer to me than you could ever be.
Hoodies, tea, and family all sitting round the tree.

We moved in at night in the rain, 36 months have never felt the same.
As the last I just long for the past. And I’m not quite sure how I got to be this way.
Our third lease in three years is grinding down my teeth.
It’s wearing out my jaw ’til I can get some sleep.

Hey kid, who are you, what’s your name?
You look familiar to me, but that’s irrelevant because we’re all the same.
We all just miss someone, we all just miss that time.
Lately nostalgia has got the best of me, and now I just stay inside.

I turned 21 on a Thursday and just rode the couch with friends
I'd rather stay inside with them than fade my X’ed out hands.
May these lines stay black and bold, may they guide my weary feet.
Marching like a Kevlar drum, parading through the street.

Hey kid, who are you, what’s your name?
You look familiar to me, but that’s irrelevant because we’re all the same.
We all just miss someone, we all just miss that time.
Lately nostalgia has got the best of me, and now I just stay inside.

I miss my time in Montclair.
Carrying on about doing nothing all day long.
I hope they know that they are who made me strong.

I miss that summer at Sammy’s.
Watching Bones and talking about how we miss Danielle.
I miss her dad, and the stories he would tell.

I miss my family in Big Blue.
Friday nights that turned into long bus ride.
The best few years of my life.

But at least we have Avon.
Until the dunes succumb to the waves.
It’s bound to happen one of these days.

And I hope when they do, they take me away too.
Wash me away.
