Summary

LYRICS: Oak feathers lie downtrodden Sodden and rotting As relics of a summer ending Their particles floating Through ditch into river Like the tattered remains of my memories And I still smell you breathing Your drool on my pillow Your body draped over my twin-size The alcohol stains That we left for my parents And your shirt on the floor at my bedside The honk of a Cherokee Our eyes bolt awake At the horror of our summer ending You sprint through the doorway And up the stair floorboards And I haven’t seen you since And I tell all my friends That we left on good terms But the truth is you have a new boyfriend And he doesn’t like me And he says you can’t speak to me And I texted back just to say She loves you And I’m glad that she’s with you ‘cause She loves you And I’m glad that she found you ‘Cause you make her happy And when I see her smile In your arms in a photograph I can’t help but start to think That maybe it’s better this way But I was kind of hoping you’d stay I lie awake nightly And rubbing my eyes To the rhythm of The Postal Service The shape of your shadow’s Burned into my memory And rubbing don’t help to erase The stinging red whites ache like My elevated heart rate In three-quarter time to Los Campesinos! I remember the night that I Told you I loved you At 3 am sitting on your back porch I rode 15 miles And met you halfway Our bikes rusty and our t-shirts sweaty The moon was on fire And my stomach was empty But I’d never felt more whole I left with reluctance The kiss mark on my neck Fueled my journey all the way back home Not a day goes by that I don’t Think about my best friend And I wonder if you ever think of me I think one day he’ll be your husband And I hope I’m invited to the wedding And I’ll call a toast on the day I need it most And find closure in finally admitting She loves you And I’m glad that she’s with you ‘cause She loves you And I’m glad that she found you ‘Cause you make her happy And I’ve never seen her eyes Glow quite as bright as when she’s next to you Or her smile as wide as when she’s next to you Or her swell with pride as when your ring is on her finger And maybe it’s better this way But I’m just glad I got to see you today
