lyrics

I made my way out east and everything got quiet. It turns out leaving isn’t loud. They say the city brings an odd, sporadic silence. I guess the landlord left that out. You are a brand new building, springing up overnight, suddenly obscuring lines of sight. Navigate completely unprepared for what it might be like without you there. Some friends bring beer and goodbye cards and good luck charms. Some leave early, most stay late. They cut me off before I get too sentimental. They print a high-school photo of my face onto a cake and I pass out little slivers of myself. I know these nights are sweet, but they put our health through hell. And the weight of all that waits is so much to bear. See if I can hold it without you there. And I wonder “Can I live here?” and if there’s any space to spare. A double yellow line. A never ending equals sign.
