about

A song about moving to a new zone.

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 & goodbye cards & 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 hell through health
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?
is there any space to spare?"
a double yellow line
a never ending equals sign

i made my way out east and everything got quiet
it turns out leaving isn’t loud.
