Old Friends Testo

Walking outside labyrinthian over cracks along under the trees

I know this town grounded in a compass

Cardinal landed in the dogwood


Keep going over it over and over

My steps, iterate my shame
How come every outcome's such a come down

Late in the afternoon with the shades drawn down


I kept saying I just wanted to see you

Saying whats wrong with that

Needle shaking outlines in a compass

Every outcome's such a comedown


I knew it when I saw it

So I did just what I wanted

So I go through with it
I knew happiness when I saw it


I saw your boyfriend at the Port Authority

Sort of a fucked up place

Well, so I averted my stride on a quick one

He's coming back from going over your place, huh


I feel like we could forget about it

I feel like I could mellow out

I don't feel undone in a big way

There's nothing really bad to be upset about


When I thought I was getting better

I woke up on the ground and

Appointment or a disappointment

Any outcome's such a comedown


As if I needed a reminder

Oh I do only what I want to

So I go through with this


Walking out in the nighttime springtime

Needling my way home

I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago

Saw some old friends at her funeral


My steps keep splitting my grief

through these solipsistic moods

I should call my parents when I think of them

Should tell my friends when I love them


Maybe I should've gone out a bit more

When you guys were still in town

I got too caught up in my own shit

That's how every outcome's such a comedown


I knew it when I saw it

Oh I did just what I wanted

So I go through with this

I knew happiness when I saw it
