lyrics

the world is based in symmetry
that’s why things level out eventually--even maggie
she saved some cake for me on ben’s birthday
a lil detail that i recorded
i had forgotten that a release doesn’t mean you have to part ways
even when things don’t feel the same
reminds me of those cascos days

i stayed sober the other night
listenin’ to belle & sebastian circa ‘95
waited up for a long time
suddenly i was reminded
of the shallow space that resides
in-between my two front teeth
gap toothed smile just to see
if you’ll smile back at me

but you’re at a party on uber or something
while i’m playing in a living room on lambert
waiting for you
praying that you
like the same music that i do

i don’t wanna go back home
everything shifts when i am gone
and i don’t want to be alone anymore
so i guess i’ll go on tour with the band

we’ll capture it on film
cuz when we’re older and have jobs & kids
& the real weight of the world.

but for now, lets enjoy the weather
cuz me, mark, and julie are together
& i love ‘em forever

but for now, we’re just waiting for january
