lyrics

this one’s gone on for far too long
how can I withdraw, escape from scene
again
we were great at 22

and I had doubt,
lying next to you, the quiet one,
in your room
that we’d make it
last, a semester or 2

longing for the parallels we drew
to the “new year’s project”
to “mass pike”, and sunny day
to the sunset of midwestern pa

just like we were kissing in the rain
making mix cds with your name
finding a place that was open this late
our hands met ‘neath a small library tree
as you struggle with
how to best
reinvent

goddamn the sentiment
and the shelf I placed it on
memorize lines to a dead-end song

goddamn this indecision
now he’s strong, he’s holding out
the frame’s right, but the picture’s all wrong

all I wanted was you
but I could not fold
call the bluff, and I’ll pine for your ghost

i know all I wanted was you
but I could not fold
like giving in to
your stronger old self

you’re a ghost
but all I wanted was you
and I could not fold
cut from a roseate
and magazines
and a lost cause you’ve not sung away
aimless,
and dreamt of before
like a dead-end song
