friendship bracelets
there will be a million replacements
for when I
have to leave
childhood bedrooms
turn around and it’s too soon
it’s packed up
in a Subaru
the older you get
you’re still the new kid
placing your bets
knowing you’ll lose some
but everything starts
when you think it’ll end
over and over and over again
protecting all of my peace
till I have no one left to leave me
am I lonely
or am I free?
the older you get
you’re still the new kid
placing your bets
knowing you’ll lose some
but everything starts
when you think it’ll end
over and over and over again
and the older you get
you’re still the new kid
you’ll never forget why
you chose to be quiet
cause everything starts
when you think it’ll end
your parents and dogs and your very best friend
