I just wanna know what the fuck’s been going on with you
It’s been like three years since we last talked thought that I was losing you
You’re sinking and moving fast
I hope your liver’s good
Traded a lifetime for cheap lies
I know you’ll make it through
Trainhopper Skywalker you beat me to the coast by a day
But if you walk on the rails you’ll find the sights have slowed but stay the same
I hope you’re all right
I miss all the times
Ciggies and long nights
Talkin’ about life
Scraped both your knees
We got back up when we fell from trees
Let this floor in tact remind you not all ships need to wreck
It feels like home just to have you back

I can leave when I want to but I just stay
Curb your esteem for the air of a braver day
Never lift a hand I’ll just get in my own way
Carry on and act like I’m shortchanged
These roads they feel like hell and I haven’t had the guts to try and repent
This isn’t some sort of joke even though I’ve been trying to laugh again
And if these books could talk they’d tell you all about the person I once aspired to be
Drinking bottle after bottle of this antioxidant shit that’ll probably kill me
I can leave when I want to but I just stay
Curb this rapport if it feels like I’m miles away
Never need to doubt me I swear that I’m okay
Baby what’s that trading for these days?
This is the radius I am willing to travel just to say goodnight
It’s smaller than I thought it would be but when I said it sounded nice
I couldn’t help myself I’ve got nowhere else to lie
Even the ghosts are starting to tell me to look alive
I'll write it down but only if I annotate it
Cuz losing hope is not the message I want overstated
If the substance you clock tonight is potent enough to make you feel all right
I guess I’ll take the wins when I get ‘em but I’m still brushing so hard it just erodes the cementum
Every fucking second that I spent alone
Waiting for the day you couldn’t find your way home
Does this really feel like an upswing?
Or you tappin’ to the crossface chickenwing?
Ask me again, do I sound over it?
And if I did, would that clear your conscience?
I couldn’t have you over my shoulder without the world feeling colder I guess this fight isn’t over
Rest assured the god that I pray to
Hopes that you suffer in the same place I do
Steadfast as we march through the years
Making hell of the world that we only once feared

I can draw you up like a police sketch
I swear to God you had me at "Lester"
We spent the weekends just trying to forget hers
Watching wrestling and f*cking up all our hopes and plans
Getting lost on my own time
Trying not to get too worried 'bout the application deadlines
Hanging in the back of my classroom
I swear that I miss you but I can't find a reason to text you with a -
Hey! Where have you been at lately?
No other sucker in this city can break me
I wish the drinks we sipped in the summer could last me forever
Hey! Where have you been at lately?
You couldn't find a single reason to take me
All of the sorrys we said for the better won't last me forever
Dropped out, f*ck last semester
Got high, hit bong rips with Lester
I know I can't forget ya
F*ck this 'cuz I can't remember
I've been thinking about you lately
I hope the summer can save me
It's been a bummer I'm lost for the summer
It's been a bummer I'm lost
Hey! Where have you been at lately?
No other sucker in this city can break me
I wish the drinks we sipped in the summer could last me forever
Hey! Where have you been at lately?
You couldn't find a single reason to take me
All of the sorrys we said for the better won't last me forever
Hey! Where have you been at lately?
Try to find another reason to save me
All of things that changed for the better
Lester I love you I couldn't take this city without you

There’s been times when I could really only ever think of you
Could never sleep I’d only wait you make me want to see life through
Your perfect eyes the way they shine with many more colors than blue
I hope you know
Is this what’s it like?
To fall in love I’ll the take time
I’m getting lost inside your eyes
And I don’t mind
I’ll write a couple thousand lines
I really hope this shows how I feel
And I wish could express how I feel
But the way I see you is how I feel when the leaves change colors
That’s an unexplainable feeling but I know it’s good
Your beauty and your being is something I can’t live without
Whether you’re here or not
Our initials live forever in that rotted wood on the side of that pier and that gives me comfort
I hope you can make sense of my jumbled mess
I love you
Is this what’s it like?
To fall in love I’ll the take time
I’m getting lost inside your eyes
And I don’t mind
I’ll write a couple thousand lines
I really hope this shows how I feel
I don’t sleep, I just wait

I’ve been stuck reading passages on empty vessels
Looking for the words that you wrote before the ship went down
And if I read them closer maybe I can feel the hand as it trembled
The ink marks smudge like a Rorschach
And I don’t think I have the stomach to ever go back
If some docker wants to tussle around lord knows I’d give him twenty shots on the house
I’m sorry I know this is hell but I just work here
Water up to my knees steadfast and commandeering
Every pore we covered in haste before the end was nearing
I held you closer than I ever had before just to find myself a shell on the shore
