I ride the streets around here just about every evening It's good to get the sunlight in and the scenery because soon I'll be leaving The sights have stayed the same More or less, I can say The occasional field that we were unwise in as kids are now just estates But they were good to me We had our first touch, drink and smoke Thinking it's cool to sit and get stoned But really we should've stayed at home alone Anyway, that's all done On a clear evening the skylight might be enough in time to make me feel alright But never enough to keep me close I was hit by a car last year The concussion fucked me up To you an excuse that I'd always use when in truth you never really had it in you For something that I 'made up' the evidence is fairly there A scar on my head from where it split and bled and my pupils dilate at different rates Instead of the two perfect circles that used to watch me back That now are content on a future that's meant to forgive themselves and forget You'll only do it all again Until you've got no one left But the dregs you'll call friends that you used to pretend were there for you when you weren't there for them On a quiet evening the twilight might be enough to make me feel alive But never enough to keep me close As I felt low in the backseat Listening to Micheline Tales of lovers, dead friends and others And god I do worry about my brothers But I trust that they're okay We're wired in different ways Their hedonism and hazy days and my sadness still taking me away And this self-pity of mine It's not all bad, by the by Some days I feel like I might hit 30, on others even 29 It's true what they say You don't feel yourself getting older With pains and body aches and a brain that turns in on itself as the days get colder Though that's really nothing new A steady presence since youth I've tried to shake it, sleep it off and fake it But there's something else I'm craving On coastline evenings the shoreline might be enough to not want to call time But never enough to keep me close Vindictive, spiteful boy Standing as a man Only in age do playground games give way to the burden of shame So I've just spent this month Watching Love and The Breakfast Club I try to keep social, thoughtful and mobile but sometimes I'm just not able I was quiet as a kid Scared of speaking But what's shy next to speaking for speakings sake The former seems like the better way But now though I'm alright Settled in my ways A good bunch of people that I call friends and only half of my past down as a mistake With a single feeling the night light might be enough to make me sleep tonight But never enough to keep me close The future's a cautious place And more unfulfilling with time When you plough your own furrow the idea of tomorrow can sometimes make you feel like you shouldn't even bother But for now I guess I will Because I'm walking and breathing still Anyway, I'm going on So I'd best go The ghost of me 10 years ago XO
