lyrics

I’m only gonna think for a minute, and after that I’m gone.

I’m only gonna wait for a minute, and after that I’m gone.

I’m only gonna wait for a minute, and after that I’m gone.

We’re glowing. Midnight, mid-21, not sure how to respond to your texts.

Still showed up. Spilled sangria on some paperwork and curled up on the

covered floor. Later, you’d touch my back as I’d recall your paleblue 

(we slow-danced in the sunrise) eyes

Now I’m solo 23, pushing 24 - tryna be just stoned and dancing.

Think I’m just stoned and dancing - sea of ivy league unknown undergrads;

Oh god I don’t know anyone - am I a creep? Looking like they’re in the 90’s -

Okay, well done; I guess that you were like that too -

Also above it, though - ah, memory’s such a prickly thing.

And when the light’s gone out and I feel alone again,
I watch the water with my friends.
And when the tide’s gone out and I feel like shit again,
I watch the water with my friends.

We’re only gonna wait for a minute, and after that we’re gone.

We’re only gonna wait for a minute, and after that we’re gone.

We’re only gonna wait for a minute, and after that we’re gone.

We’re swaying. Grey light, midwinter dawn, felt sleepless and kind of overwhelmed.

And shimmering, that night, when you’d said “I used to really like you but I knew someone like you
would never really like me”, like, we pretended you were single.

All these open endless roads - intimate shows -

you got married; I’m forgetting you.

But still remembering the rental car - how minutes out

from Reykjavik, we decided this was way too much.

We’d burned a dozen cities into dust, and with the firehose,

was I thinking of that first night? How I disagreed? Or Mount

Esja looming ‘cross the bay? In fog, but guessing: tall.

But forward’s all that’s left these days.


(that I could love you)

And when the light’s gone out and I feel alone again,
I watch the water with my friends.
And when the tide’s gone out and I feel like shit again,
I watch the water with my friends.

We're only gonna
