lyrics

i only saw you a couple times last year
once at a wedding and once at a funeral
i wore the same clothes to both and i was worried you would notice
cause yours were impeccable
you filled me in on potential five-year plans
you’re thinking of jobs and homes and children
slowly rotating a silver wedding band
between your thumb and middle finger

and i wondered “oh my god, did i get lost? 
am i young enough to just move on?”

i saw a classmate i hadn’t seen in years
he was well-dressed and i fucked up our handshake
“how’s making music? i haven’t listened yet, but someone said you’re doing great”

and it felt like a dream at double-speed on a Greyhound back from Pittsburgh
comparing something like that to where others are at?
what a backwards way to calculate self-worth

my mother’s out there climbing mountains
my father’s buried in his work
my sister’s moving to a brand new city
my brother’s looking out for her
but anyway, thanks for having me over

to your new old apartment
i’m doing well, my flight was fine
i see you listened to the record that i sent you
i wish i saw you all the time
but this is fine.

i hope i see you a little more this year
i want a good look at the life that you're building.

Hailing from the post-industrial shores of Cleveland, OH, Maxwell Stern has been writing music and touring since the early 2000s.
