Old Friends

Walking outside labyrinthine
 Over cracks along under the trees
 I know this town grounded in a compass
 Cardinal landed in the dogwood
 I keep going over it, over and over
 My steps iterate my shame
 How come every outcome is such a comedown?
 Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down
 I kept saying I just wanted to see it
 Saying, "What's wrong with that?"
 Needle shaking out lines in the compass
 Every outcome is such a comedown
 ♪
 I knew it when I saw it
 So I did just what I wanted
 So I go through with this
 I knew happiness when I saw it
 I saw your boyfriend at the port authority
 It's a sort of fucked up place
 Well, so I averted my stride on a quick one
 He's coming back from going over to your place, huh?
 I feel like I could forget about it
 I feel like I can mellow out
 I don't feel undone in a big way
 There's nothing really bad to be upset about
 But when I thought I was getting better
 I woke up on the ground
 An appointment, oh disappointment
 A set back, oh another comedown
 ♪
 As if I needed a reminder
 I do only what I wanna
 So I go through with this
 
 Walking out in the night-time springtime
 Needling my way home
 I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago
 I saw some old friends at her funeral
 My steps keep splitting my grief
 Through these solipsistic moods
 I should call my parents when I think of them
 Should tell my friends when I love them
 Maybe I should have gone out a bit more
 And you guys are still in town
 I got too caught up in my own shit
 It's how every outcome is such a comedown
 ♪
 I knew it when I saw it
 Oh, I did just what I wanted
 So I go through with this
 I knew happiness when I saw it
 I saw it
