Meanwhile my water starts to boil
Thank god my new kitchen has good light
Am I the same now without you?
How much has the time and space changed us?
Last time I saw you we had fun
But not until we got so drunk
So here we are
In your tiny car
Your uncle sold you
For one dollar
But it's not real now
This is just a dream
So take that wheel now
We are seventeen
Sometimes resentment sometimes loss
I think of you often in color
I hope that you're helping yourself
Somehow when you ignore all my calls
I hope you're not just more alone
I hope you're just busy living your life
Not scared to write back on the phone
You got a new girlfriend but please say Hi
So here we go
We are driving home
The Devil's Lake trip
And we're both stoned
We took off hiking
While our two friends swam
For a secret smoke
That worked Goddamn
And then it hits me
Just why he hates me
The thing I did that hurt him the most
That I blocked and forgot until now
I guess I've done this once before
Come out of a troubled time and then
Declare how I've changed and what's more
Take stock of my status once again
Promise myself I learned this time
Determined what happened so I prevent it
I've taken to heal and climb
Lost opportunities and friends
Good God, finally
Back on stable ground
I went through hell but
Now I've found
I've got foundation
I can stand on still
Not all is lost
From what I built
