Wanna talk like when we were kids
And every word comes out
It's nothing either of us did
Why'd you let it happen?
When did we stop laughing?
Feel sorry for us now
Paying rent, calling home again
Routine and tedium now
Holding off for another hit
Why'd I let it happen?
Where are all the trappings?
Feeling sorry for myself
Wonder where you went when we passed and graduated
I could see you out in Portland
Taking class, making cash, doing art commissions
Monday morning, painting oceans
Maybe dropped the pen, kill yourself selling health insurance
Never ends, it's not important
Not important
Nothing
Had that thought spinning in my head
What would you say now?
Mackinac just across the bridge
Did you ever see the island?
Probably not invited
I'd go with you sometime
Wonder where you went when we passed and graduated
I could see you out in Portland
Taking class, making cash, doing art commissions
Monday morning, painting oceans
Maybe dropped the pen, kill yourself selling health insurance
Never ends, it's not important
Not important
Nothing
So it goes, some things must end
Hope you still keep up with your college friends
Some dead-end job, a fold-out bed
It's not my place to hope the best
Common threads, you felt them pulling
Felt them pulling
Common threads, you felt them pulling
Felt them pulling
Never ends
Wonder where you went when we passed and graduated
(Not important, not important, never ends)
Shaking class, getting high in a friend's apartment
(Not important, never ends)
Why'd we let it happen?
When did we stop laughing?
Feel sorry for us now
Intrusive thoughts
Shouldn't care where you are, but I can't shake the notion
The Pacific Ocean might look nice with both of us there
