I spent the last few years really struggling yeah

From fighting urges and just screaming through

All the friendships and the fuckups

And the nights that got away from us

So I lined up a bottle for each question asked

I closed a chapter on a city that contained most

And landed in some outer borough

Where I picked up the keys from your neighbor next door

You may have been bounced around yourself now once or twice

You may have mentioned it when we were passing in the night

But oh! I remind you of a place you come from

I said, you probably should take more pride in that

Fill: | |

And I see how we drifted apart

I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk

You've been a good friend, darling

But just not a lover yet

So we spent the best years painting pictures of

The adults we knew or the adults that we were running from

But oh, the things I could've said to you then

If I'd the man speaking for the boy I was back then

Those were last words I said when I was 17

I look at you now and I think,

Oh my God, I'm about as together and with it

and clever as I ever was back then

Fill: | |

But I see how we drifted apart

I'm only comfortable looking at you when I talk

You've been a good friend, darling

But just not a lover yet

But old---- bones hold in place these dates

Old---- bones carry me where I am
