I am alone and a long way from home.
I am alive, but I don’t feel alright
And if we leave now we’ll be the first ones at the party,
But we can drive slow and turn up the radio.
Everything that I love is slowly expiring,
So why are we waiting when now’s perfect timing?
I, I never cry anymore, though I’m not sure why.
My eyes are always dry, even when I’m trying to let go
Teeth stained yellow from smoking tobacco,
And a heart that’s so fragile it’s too scared to let go.
I’m tired of watching things fall to the shadows.
While time is consuming everything that I know
Remember the time we broke down in Missouri?
so we smoked some pot and slept in a parking lot.
And I didn’t mind when the car cost us money.
As long as you’re here I might always be happy.

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
