Old Friends Lyrics

Walking outside labyrinthine
Over cracks along under the trees
I know this town grounded in a compass
cardinal landed in the dogwood

I keep going over it over and over and my steps iterate my shame.
How come every out come is such a come down? Lately afternoon with the shades drawn
down.
I kept saying I just wanted to see it. Saying "Whats wrong with that?"
Needle shaking out lines in the compass


every out come is such a come down

And I knew it when I saw it

So I did just what I wanted

So I go through with this, I knew happiness when I saw it

I saw your boyfriend at the port authority

It's a sort of fucked up place
Well so I averted my stride on a quick one

He's coming back from going over to your place, huh?
I feel like I could forget about it
I feel like I can mellow out, I don't feel undone in a big way
There's nothing really bad to be upset about
But when I thought I, was getting better, I woke up on the ground

An appointment oh disappointment a set back, oh another come down
As if I needed a reminder

oooohhhh
I do only what I wanna.


So I go through with this
Walking out in the night time spring time, needling my way home
I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago, I saw some old friends at her funeral
My steps keep splitting my grief thru these solipsistic moves
I should call my parents when I think of them
Should tell my friends when I love them
Maybe I should have gone out a bit more,
and you guys are still in town
But I got too caught up in my own shit
It's how every out come is such a come down
And I knew it when I saw it!!!
Oh, I did just what I wanted
So I go through with this, I knew happiness when I saw it.
I saw it
