Different Now

All of my windows are sepia toned
So I see today like a memory
And if you think that I’m a comedy now
Wait until you meet the rest of me, rest of me
I’ll give as much forever as I can afford
Back in the summer we’d go for a walk
With whiskey and coke in our travel mugs
Nothing to do but go buy groceries again
Sit on the porch and get bit by bugs, bit by bugs
I’ll give as much forever as I can afford
Cause that’s what my parents did
I bit my tongue and I tasted my blood
It’s different now than it was as a kid
That brittle feeling is returning again
And nothing you drink makes it disappear
It stains the floors and it washes the walls
You know that you have to get out of here, out of here

Get on bus and walk to back
But kindergartens can’t do that
Driver calls me to the front
Why can’t I sit where I want
Get to school don’t recognize
Anyone with mother’s eyes
But I won’t let my tear ducts open
Not on my first day
My stomach hurts, it’s not my tummy
I don’t think it’s cute or funny
Using words i’ve been rehearsing
You’ll talk to me like a person

Strangest Feeling

Strangest feeling
I could leave
work Armada
With all my high school friends
They look happy
They have money
They have babies
Sometimes
I could, I could
I could, I could
Strangest feeling
People live here
Never leave home
That’s okay with them
Nice and familiar
Friends and family here
Sit and have a beer
Sometimes

After all this time
After all i’ve seen
Still saving snails from sidewalks
And earthworms from the street
All the things I learned
From my parents as a kid
Didn’t have much relevance
Then all at once they did
Tired of writing songs about
The lives I’ve had before
Drudging up the feelings that I
Don’t feel anymore
I sit and watch the animals
Run around the park
Chipmunks fight for acorns
And rabbits chewing bark
As i drink the coffee
I paid five dollars for
Wonder if a finch barista
Would charge me less or more

Before I Knew

I always said I’d die at 25
Or live to be a thousand years old
Slowly but surely i’m nearing 25
I think I’ll just wait and see how it goes
Please don’t hold me to
The things that I said
Before I knew
No one could ever make me change my mind
My world, so simple and small
But now that I’m older, and used to being wrong
I know I know nothing at all

Just Need To

When you grow up looking at the power lines
You think about it every day
How 13 thousand watts would feel
Coursing through your brain
When you’ve never thought of something
You forget it’s even there
When I think about my future
I forget I’m supposed to care
Watch the geese go back and forth again
They all seem so confused
No-one knows when winter will come
Not anymore anyway
Sometimes I wonder how they feel
Moving two steps behind
I often wonder how I feel
I think I’m mostly fine
I stare across the pasture
And all the life out there
Though it’s still and empty
There’s enough for me to say that I’d care
If someone burned the whole thing down
I’d beg them to stop and I’d cry
I almost burned this whole thing down
But I promised myself I’d try

Sit Down on the Floor

I don’t want anyone to look at me
If their eyes don’t feel like yours
But everyone at work just stares at me
When I sit down on the floor
When you grow up looking at the power lines
You think about it everyday
How one slip step at eighty feet
Would make it all go away
