THE STORY:
A eulogy for plans and people that didn’t work out. Memories of Atlanta. Little Five Points. Riding the subway on a freezing morning. Sleeping next to gorgeous punk boy in Christmas lights while the Cure’s “Disintegration” was on repeat. And having to run from it all.
THE LYRICS:
The last time I saw you there
Pretty lips and dirty hair
Now everyone’s got a hole in their face
I ran like dog when you let me chase youKids in a nighttime driveway
Turntable bring sleep our way
My name was on the wall
Do we miss who we were
At that time at all?Chorus:
Remember I said
What am I doing here?
Remember I said I cannot stay
Remember the hurt?
It’s still buried
Left part of myself there that day.Check yes or no
’98 San Francisco?
Frenzy - there was no answer still
Sometimes you gotta accept that
If you’re gonna be okay with yourself.Subways running
Dawn breaks I’m about to shut down
Escape drowning
He never was a red dirt boy
