I've been thinking a lot about everything
About Christmas and what I said
Soon you'll be leaving me
To get some cold air in your head
I'm not saying there's something wrong with that
I'd be mad if you did any different
But I can't pretend to be happy
That you'll be halfway across the country
I've thought a lot about everything
Like where we'll be in three months
It's starting to seem insane to think
That I'll see you in three months
I've been thinking about everything
Like the times that we broke in the pantry
My father he knew me well
I've been thinking a lot about everything
Your brother always treated me with kindness
And you were always selfless
And I coughed on that stranger's cigarette
It was good, it was sweet, it burned holes in my teeth
And I rattled my knees on the black underneath
And it buried me into the cold winter freeze
Like a dog, it was odd, I was shirking my sleep
For the stares on the stairs for your nightmarish week
And I heard everything that your mom couldn't see
With my hand on my back twisted up like a tree
And I cried on your cake about the bed at the lake
And you asked if this meant that a nebulous state
Would be better for me and it hurt just to hear
'Cause I was wrong, I was weak
I made off with the creek and left you on the beach with a crack in your beak
Now the Caroline breeze feels a lot like a laugh
That you hold back at first 'til it breaks through your back
Clean the blood off your hands so you don't lose your grip
I'm a craven and captain going down with the ship
Now the bottle is broken
Sits on the shelf to remind me the day I almost saw hell
