lyrics

Oak feathers lie downtrodden
Sodden and rotting
As relics of a summer ending
Their particles floating
Through ditch into river
Like the tattered remains of my memories

And I still smell you breathing
Your drool on my pillow
Your body draped over my twin-size
The alcohol stains
That we left for my parents
And your shirt on the floor at my bedside

The honk of a Cherokee
Our eyes bolt awake
At the horror of our summer ending
You sprint through the doorway
And up the stair floorboards
And I haven’t seen you since

And I tell all my friends
That we left on good terms
But the truth is you have a new boyfriend
And he doesn’t like me
And he says you can’t speak to me
And I texted back just to say

She loves you
And I’m glad that she’s with you ‘cause
She loves you
And I’m glad that she found you
‘Cause you make her happy
And when I see her smile
In your arms in a photograph
I can’t help but start to think
That maybe it’s better this way
But I was kind of hoping you’d stay

I lie awake nightly
And rubbing my eyes
To the rhythm of The Postal Service
The shape of your shadow’s
Burned into my memory
And rubbing don’t help to erase

The stinging red whites ache like
My elevated heart rate
In three-quarter time to Los Campesinos!
I remember the night that I
Told you I loved you
At 3 am sitting on your back porch

I rode 15 miles
And met you halfway
Our bikes rusty and our t-shirts sweaty
The moon was on fire
And my stomach was empty
But I’d never felt more whole

I left with reluctance
The kiss mark on my neck
Fueled my journey all the way back home
Not a day goes by that I don’t
Think about my best friend
And I wonder if you ever think of me

I think one day he’ll be your husband
And I hope I’m invited to the wedding
And I’ll call a toast on the day I need it most
And find closure in finally admitting

She loves you
And I’m glad that she’s with you ‘cause
She loves you
And I’m glad that she found you
‘Cause you make her happy
And I’ve never seen her eyes
Glow quite as bright as when she’s next to you
Or her smile as wide as when she’s next to you
Or her swell with pride as when your ring is on her finger
And maybe it’s better this way
But I’m just glad I got to see you today
