lyrics

my mother is writing a book
it's making me sick
every time i see a page sitting around
i have to read it
it goes like this:

“if i could go back when he was younger
i would still read his diary
he was different than the other two
he rebelled
and if i hadn't know about these horrible things
he was planning to do
who knows what could have happened?”

and i want to shout
YOU WEREN'T THERE ALL THE TIME
you couldn't have been
and if he wanted to drink / f*ck / smoke weed
he would've found a way
and so would i

remember my first girlfriend?
her mom would leave us alone for hours
but we never had sex
i wouldn't
not yet
but we came close many times
and one night she had some wine
but i never took a sip
i wouldn't

not yet

It's a glorious swirl of Fleet Foxes, and Smile era Beach Boys. It gently consumes you like a river's current as you float atop—getting that unexpected sunburn in September barnudiolikesyourband
