The Summer I 03:07
the summer i got out of college the engine sputtered threateningly then it stalled out on the highway where anxious winds blew through the trees they blew me down to southern florida i slept outside a baptist church took a bus to oklahoma so lovesick my stomach hurt i ended up in new york city where i didn’t sleep at all i just walked in and out of people until another engine stalled when it’s early your tank is full of gas but to get you anywhere it’s gonna have to last when it doesn’t lust for comfort wins and you’ll always find your way back home somehow the summer i got out of college i didn’t know what i should do and in a broke cutlass ciera i swore i wouldn’t follow you and i didn’t follow you to phoenix but i was there when you got home bored and beat and broke and lonely callin’ on your telephone after phoenix i broke the promise and i went everywhere you were every time your feel got restless my engines would start to sputter when it’s late your tank is too low to get you anywhere you really wanna go just ride it off you’re better off just turn around and go back home the summer i got out of college i longed for adventure i never found took some steps in some directions felt the fear then turned around

waiting for you to get off work outside fritz’s restaurant can take all night but if i do it right then the light reflecting plus the rhythm of my headphones can hypnotize me until you come out and then i forget all about it when the world burns when the building crumbles to the ground below our feet things could be better but they could be worse and when you find out everything about me if you find mostly bad news i hope you don’t get bitter i hope you don’t get the blues

it was mid-july we were sleeping in ’til afternoons and staying up ’til mornings we were staying out all night and feeling for the first time that burden of permanence that sting of reality but still insisting we were alright ’cause if we push through it now we’ll learn to live with the sleeplessness and the ability to function when we feel like we could die and if it works right now why can’t it work later? why can’t it work forever? i was working part-time shifts pouring coffee you were seating tables for the angry overpaid and if we complained too loud no one ever seemed to notice we would toast another night to justify another day and we were broke back then like we’re broke right now like we’ll be broke forever but somehow always work it out and if it works right now why can’t it work later? why can’t it work forever? why can’t it always work out? i’d get off work at ten and go way outside fritz’s restaurant for you to finish sweeping punch the clock and come outside and we’d ignore all our friends again in favor of something intimate we’d go kiss beneath the railroad bridge and i’d wonder if we’d survive ’cause we felt good then but would it feel good tomorrow? would it feel good forever? would it last until we die? if it works right now why can’t it work later? why can’t it work later? why can’t it work forever? why can’t it work forever? why can’t it work forever? why can’t it work forever? why can’t it work?
