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 you

Kids 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
