about
This track is a single off of my new album, "Incongruity." Last summer, I went through a break up that took a heavy toll on me mentally. I wrote a song, that's also on the album, titled "the reason i hate sidewalks" where I basically just expressed how much of a mess I was, (aye lmao) though a few months passed and I started to feel better about my life and where I was at, who I was, etc. I started to think about "reason i hate sidewalks" in a more haunting way, in that it only shows how I felt at my most emotionally vulnerable and heartbroken, when It's still true that it was an amazing relationship that I'm very glad I had the chance to have had in my final years of high school. So I decided to write sidewalks' sister song, which shows a more updated, accepting side of things.
Thanks for listening, pals. Share with all your friends and I'll love you forever (Or don't, I'll still love you, up to you) Also photo/shoulder rest creds go to my kind bearded friend, Anthony.
"I pray you never have to hear the letters I've sent within the tracks of this record. I pray you never have to feel sad over a song that's about you."
lyrics
I'm gonna flash forwards
just a few months later
I've settled into this new college town
and finally figured it out
now we're still on good terms
but we don't talk much anymore
and it doesn't hurt as much now that i lost my best friend
and that reality hurts worse than death
now your hair's gotten blonder
than it was in the summer
when did you change it up
Was it enough to give you the guts
to dye your mind a brand new color
I bet it's his favorite
A new kind of pigment I wouldn't understand
But that's alright
It doesn't matter anyway
because we all evolve as people
it's okay you evolved away from me
because I won't pretend that I never had to drift away
I just wish that our fondest memories
didn't get mixed in with all the bullshit
I had to forget
Now where is the honesty I'm searching for
because I don't know if i'm lying to myself
when I say that I am fine
Am I over all those nights I spent lost inside my head
Or am I still as lost as I ever was
all I know is that every single time I had to hear his name
I just wanted to go and burst out into flames
and let my ashes scatter away
before I do something stupid and ruin everything
well now I can bear the sight of his face
as he looks in your eyes the same way I did
and I can tell you're happy
god you look so happy
That summer left me shaking with way too much withdrawel
the liquor shots that I've been taking
never competed with your phonecalls
and I haven't had a drink in weeks because I feel
that being sober helps me appreciate
that god you look so happy
And I hope you get accepted into Brown
and get the fuck out of this town
your heart of gold deserves everything, you know
and someday you're gonna get that new york city skyline
stretched across your window
well I hope it feels like home
And I want you to know that I'm so proud
I hope he sticks around
and supports you like you're the only thing that counts
