lyrics

Some sirens never make the charts
But bedroom tracks can still break hearts
I’ll be tired of the next one
Before it even starts
So one and done
Dear God, what have I done
Because this stopped being fun
A long long long long long long time ago

In my first message to Jon since age 19
I claimed to explain everything
But irony could die a thousand deaths
Before I’d tell him anything remotely close to what I mean
So he never did reply
And I don’t care to wonder why
Because I know I still sound like an asshole
Even when I’m trying to apologize

Now I’ll bet he’s glad to have escaped my claws
My minor chords and major flaws
I wanted less a lover than an audience
Less an audience than just the thought of their applause

So sail on back

Sing, o muse, of the names of real people and places
The faces I can’t recognize, the colors of eyes
I never noticed in real life or in the photos
Or the hackneyed, sordid stories we’d entirely forgotten were lies
Sing the stories we’d forgotten were lies
Sing the stories we’d forgotten were lies
