lyrics

rode my bike home after dawn
the sunrise felt abrasive
like after a dance when they turn the gym lights on

under bridges over cracks
hard to keep pedaling when all i want to do
is pedal back

we drove east out to see
on a life guard chair in a borrowed jacket
and the moon like a swollen tangerine

six months ago almost to the day
it was weird to think how much was different
and how much was exactly the same

on the trip back i remember saying to myself
"our town looks cute," and then instantly thinking
this will never be our town

fell asleep at six a.m.
it felt like twenty hours but when i woke up
it was only ten

wish i slept into the past
maybe wind your watches backwards, honey
our timing's off and i feel like i lost it now

Makes me nostalgic for three things: something I never had. Something I could have shared with my dad before he dove off and away. Lastly, something I can have. Future nostalgia. brancedar
