lyrics

In the basement of your parents' house, we thought we had it all figured out. We made a map to escape, but things never worked out the way we'd spread the map out on the floor.

I remember we were 17. We took your '98 green Jeep, went out to the park cruised around in the dark; you smoked cigarettes in the autumn breeze.

Then you turned and you said to me you were sick of the hand-me-down dreams. Said, “Everybody you meet has some assumptions, you see, and expectations they've set for me.”

So you found a new way to be someone none of us had ever seen. Saw you fading away we were too scared to say anything at all.

You were the first of our friends to die. They put you in the ground in the Spring. Your parents were crying. The tea kettle screamed, as I poured out a cup for me.

Years later while writing these words I heard the faintest cry of a bird. I looked outside, watched your car pass by, and wish I had said goodbye. I never said goodbye.
