lyrics

I had the same strings on my bass for a year. You didn’t have the kind I like, because the small corner store selection, and a smile that shouldn’t be familiar. You Commack kids break my heart. I know what your parents see in you, and you don’t always come back from college, and it hardly matters how well I knew you in this muted conversation. Late again, lacking the strength to leave my room. Despite our best efforts, we’re all weighed down. Tired arms. Tired brains. To hell with eloquent communication through the worst of something that never ends, and all I have in the end is this muted conversation of anecdotes and “that’s-too-bad”s and your picture on the news, and I hope that you knew that you’re the reason why this is melancholy and radiant, and when I look at you, it reminds me. (Shay)
