the place that you grew up in
the sound of the sea
your dads house in the summer
was heaven to me
we slept in the spare room
fell quickly asleep
to the currents of the ocean
and the chaos it brings.
those flashing lights
carnival rides
everybody goes in
but ill stay outside
in the lapping of the waves
ill wait for your call
remembering the summer
before I fade into the fall.
its all of those used car lots
and their broken dreams
the pier that you jumped off of
to feel like drowning
in something other than the sadness that you wear
like a coat that you hung up
when we got home I was just scared
and we were so fucked.
I was so fucked.
those flashing lights
carnival rides
everybody goes in
but ill stay outside
in the lapping of the waves
I wait for your call
remembering the summer
before I fade into the fall.
