when you told me you’d miss me
as sure as the sky is grey, you do
i remember dismissing the future
approaching uncertainty as recklessly as always
i’ll be there soon out there with you
we’ll talk awkwardly, i’m sure
catching up after weird endless months
disorienting, how did the future get here?
when you told me you’d find me
as sure as the day is here, you did
you spoke of numbers, a path to the future
approaching uncertainty as recklessly as me

there’s only one road into your town
i couldn’t handle that, i’d need some way out
not traveling much but not for long
we’ll get it together, find a road to get on
i’ve heard these tales of times that have passed
i’ve seen the old world, the ghosts of what you had
went on forever, then forever finally ended
things got harder even if no one meant it
the wind whips through, fighting with the trees
the road crumbles, gives way beneath our feet
i’ll ride with this caravan, i’ll be someone who stays
i’ll believe it all and earn my place

snowing in april, the cold is holding on
couldn’t tell you what day it is
i’m in no rush to get out there
we’ve made it through the worst of this
and our lost year
gets farther away every day
tending a garden, or at least i’m trying
i’ll see what lives and what grows
learning in pieces and always assuming
i’m catching up with what everyone knows
and i lost time
but found a little today
don’t blame the sun for hiding away
or the clouds for taking up space
i’ll find meaning if i travel far enough
ride the stars, get back to the same place
and i’ll make up
for it all someday

hands on my face, i’m sinking in slowly
i have time to think about what i’m doing
living in my head, making a lovely home here
i swear i’m trying to find you some room
i remember going home, wherever that would be
and the muddy days before i had to care
memories in pieces, i guess it’s not so bad
i’ve tried to pick and choose who lives there
the flickering projector, the screen as big as life
some tastes i’m sure i owe to you
is my memory in movies, and is that so bad
it’s been so long, so long overdue
