about

a song that escalates quickly.

lyrics

i keep my toothbrush in my room
cause roaches crawl up through the drain
and i won't swim after a storm
cause frogs get in the pool by rain
and i worry that each band i love
will quit before i see
and there will be no brand new songs
and i won't earn that memory

and i get anxious in the spring
when hurricanes begin to blow
my city's gone if a strong one hits
and i'll lose all that i know
and i don't think that i will find a job
because the country's gotten sour
and lots of people could get hurt
depending who we put in power

and sometimes i think ghosts are real
and i can't sleep away from home
and i know i'd let somebody down
so i'm fine to be alone
and i often lay awake at night and cry into my sleeve
cause things i love are growing old
and soon might have to leave

and i have dreams my parents know
the things i have to hide away
and it kills them that i can't live
their proper normal way
but these things i'll have to face
and try to persevere
cause life's too long to hide away
from every single thing i fear
