Hold me back
In this parking lot
Cause I don’t know if we’re in
Heaven or Villa Park
But you must be
Some wrinkle in my life
To have me googling birth control
While I drive
Why wouldn’t you google birth control
For me
Tonight
In my dreams
You have Alzheimers in your 20’s
And I see you every other day
Cause we try and save the space
But I’m a mop
I saw a couple in the parking lot
Who looks just like us
I wish ya’ll
Would just stop
Making us
And I know we don’t say love
But man I sure had fun
Unplugging
Your toilet in the morning
And I know they all look like us
But man I sure had fun
Thinking
That this year was different
So hold me back
In this parking lot
Cause I don’t know if we’re in
Heaven or Villa Park
And if we leave
There will be time
There will be time
There will be thoughts about your toilet
In the highlights of my life
Cause in my dreams
You have Alzheimers in your 20’s
And I see you every other day
Cause we try and save the space
But I’m a mop
I saw a couple who looks just like us
I wish ya’ll would just stop
Making us

My parents
Won’t recognize me
They’ll say she’s half our world
But this one’s got that dimly lit thing
And my old friends
Will worry at least
They’ll say it's not her fault
It’s the other guy
Who gave her too much to think
But I see what you all mean
Lately I’ve been just
Making the mirror nervous
By the way I’ve been looking at it
Though I still look forward to things
I still look forward to
Finishing speciality salads
Like that will make me new
But when who I wanna be is out of reach
I’ll just lay on the carpet underneath
I thought you
Were expecting me
But I walked into your life
The way it used to be
And your girlfriend
She vacuums my hair
While you both wonder
How this perfect stranger got there
But I see what you all mean
Lately I’ve been just
Making the mirror nervous
By the way I’ve been looking at it
Though I still look forward to things
I still look forward to
Getting so out of it
That life could mean just you
When no one is there to hold up me
I can see there’s no carpet underneath
I won’t
Recognize me
I’m like the good Coop in the Lodge
When he can’t leave
And all that I meet
Blames it maybe on the heat
Anything but the carpet underneath
Anything but the nothing under me

Guess I’m not as thick
As I thought
I walk out of rooms
And you snooze like nothing’s gone
And never hear me washing in the sink
These moons of makeup rings
Marking the phases of letting you see
These
Things
Written on your hand
Hey it’s 10 am
I wanna know
What you wrote and what it
Means
What’s written on your hand
Hey I’m in your head
But wanna know why you wrote
What’s written on your hand
And on our night of celebration
There’s flashbacks you won’t let me see
And on these chairs of confusion
I don’t who you were before me
I guess we’re not as tall
As we’d like
I used to hear in stories
That there ain’t no mountain high
To keep
Me from the
Things
Written on your hand
Hey it’s 10 am
I wanna know what you wrote and what it
Means
What’s written on your hand
Hey I’m in your head
But wanna know why you wrote
What’s written on your hand
I’ll never go
To work in the morning not
Wondering
Who’s the most starving
Wish
All the other days
Could end how they started
With you
Telling me
The phrases on your hand
And what they mean
When you wrote them
The phrases on your hand
And what they mean
When you wrote them

Hey come on let’s
Power through tonight
I ate too much for lunch again
The universe expands
But mine
Is in the same three apartments
Making days out of time
I bet we all looked nice
The girls talking theories at the parties
Then Miranda pulled me over
Touched my shoulder
She said if you don’t remember this
No one will
Then Miranda pulled me over
Touched my shoulder
She said you have to remember this
Or no one will
So I guess I will
You said hey come on
I called us a ride
But I’m a mess
Feels like it was in another life
I had a lot of friends
Do I know her from somewhere?
Was there a mirror that we shared?
God I hate the way life modulates
Then Miranda pulled me over
Touched my shoulder
She said if you don’t remember this
No one will
Then Miranda pulled me over
Touched my shoulder
She said you have to remember this
Or no one will
So I guess I will
Remember it felt so fine
Hanging with the girls in
All the wrong places
Where did we get
The gall?
Remember it felt so fine
Being new in
The same old places
The world gets bigger
I’m it’s designated
Rememberer
I remember it felt so fine
Hanging with the girls in
All the wrong places
Where did we get
The gall?
Remember it felt so fine
Being new in
The same old places
The world got bigger
But I’m it’s designated
Rememberer

See me lean on the fridge
Trying my best to keep it together
Never know, what world I’ll wake up in
If my grace doesn’t exist
Just tell the plans that I cant make them
Can’t stand to see the old me, poke its head
And how when you’re there, I’m not invited
But I’m not your final boss
I’m just scared that I’m the type
Who could see her perfect curls
And think they could ruin my life
Thats why it’s been, me
Versus man for a while
The stuff I’ve been, taking
For a while
I mumble under my breath
All for you I save, the meanest messages
All for you and the role you made me play
All for you
And the loud music
My roommates, always
I’m not your final boss
I’m just scared that I’m the type
Who could see her perfect curls
And think they could ruin my life
And you blame it on the wreck,
But that wreck was just a sign
I’ve been on strange medicine
For a long time
That’s why its been, me
Versus man for a while
The stuff I’ve been, taking
For a while
And I’m not as mad as I seem
When you’re partying out in Long Beach
In the bathroom I was spinning
Taking the things that help
So hold me back
Because I’m angry
And I don’t wanna blow up
On anyone else
Hold me back
Because I’m wondering
If this is how it was
By myself
