I fell in love on a Friday
It happened so fast
I fell right into your lap
You can’t stop smiling
It doesn’t hurt when I see you
I’m so used to it burning
So used to the pain
Of feeling awkward
Old stories kept me moving through the rough days
I held the breath you cut loose
You see more than I could
How do you love me anyway?
I’m only good for a minute to kick back and spin it
You’re not like the rest
I fell in love on a Saturday
It was cold enough to see the air
Though warm enough not to care
I held your hand for the first time
It was the first time I saw your face
Behind the glass that protects your eyes
Those brown iridescent lights
Hollow russet and candied coy
Old stories kept me moving through the rough days
I held the breath you cut loose
You see more than I could
How do you love me anyway?
I’m only good for a minute to kick back and spin it
You’re not like the rest
I can’t even look
It hurts me too much
I’ll stock up your isle
Be your CVS Boyfriend
For a day, maybe two

Cheated Relief

He looks across the room at me
One eye open, the other half shut
And if this isn’t how it’s meant to be
I guess I’ll take that chance
He found his spot by the window in the chair
Passed out from the morning air
And if this isn’t where I cleanse my head
I guess I’ll sit down instead
I had a moment where I felt wrong
In cheated relief
I couldn’t pay back what you have done
For me
He found love north of Amesbury
Warmth inside, a friend twice his size
And when I think how it really could have flipped
I’d say I’m lucky at worst
Ooo how it really beat on my chest
My cheated relief
Ooo I am more than my best can bring
When I feel the worlds not for me
He’s right there to bite into my sleeve
And look me in the eyes until
I fall back asleep

I have so much to say
It doesn’t always come out the right way the first time
And I’m sorry it cut like rain
Thunder came, wiped away the good times
Said I would be fine if you go away
I texted you on New Years Eve 2017
Happy to move on and out of the worst year of my life
I wanted you to stay
You looked away
Said you would be fine if I go away
Why did you come to every single show I played?
To cry?
And tell me “I’m still the one for you”
I know it’s not true
Said I would be fine without you
And you’re right
It cuts like paper to the eyes
When I finally you were right
Cause you’re not the one I fell in love with
I’m with the one I fell in love with
Why do you still haunt my life?
