We painted your house
And we stripped that wallpaper off
We threw it in the trash
Next to chicken bones and cheeto bags
And old newspapers
That cigarette smoke
Filled the basement up
As we decided which hue
Would best fit the room
And we joked
About all our best times
And how we’d stay in touch
Passed college
I’ve been telling you everything that’s real
Never saying nothing I don’t know
I’ve been telling you everything that’s real
Stuck in the back of Subway
You never did come in
And tell me “there’s no worries”
“We crashed that motorcycle”
“But we’re all just alive and well”
I’ve been telling people I’ve been sorry
Blanketed in the fabric of that night
You never showed
We painted your house
And we dripped down the wall and off
We tried to make it last
Long enough to smile back and think of
All our dumb sayings
And the way you spoke
But my mind doesn’t work like it used to
And the glistening future we once had
Is more like a catholic first communion “Amen”
Where we both know distractions
And just wanting some wine then
I’ve been telling you everything that’s real
Never saying nothing I don’t know
I’ve been telling you everything that’s real
Stuck in the back of the train
And you never did call me and tell me
“There’s no worries”
“We crashed that fucking bike”
“But we survived, just to let you know”
I’ve been telling people I’ve been sorry
Thinking about the future
But obsessed with those three days
I’ve been telling you everything that’s real
Never saying nothing I don’t know
I’ve been telling you everything that’s real
Stuck in the back of Subway
You never did call
