lyrics

it's unclear who's been following who around
or why we picked to pivot and plant ourselves
back in our hometown
there were plenty of painless exits
that would have taken me south
and without
the weighted eyes of our families watching

to put my finger on the sensation i get
witnessing the deletion of a text
after divulging the lies to your mother
you ended up devising just to keep this rekindling hid
would be far too foretelling
of the excuses i'd devise for leaving

abandoned baggage at the borderline
dragging along the blacktop every mile of the drive
to recover the ocean and santa cruz moonshine
when that doesn't work
maybe then i'll quit resisting
its purer water of shasta-trinity

a three dollar bottle has new friends pose as insightful clarity
but to awake depleted, the mind with its body
makes the sustain of will to not contact strewn
so give up in the afternoon
you respond with wanting your life back
