Last night, something switched degrees
I couldn't figure out your place with me
And it scares me more as every second ticks by
'Cause you were the one good thing since seventeen
From our parents rooms, to dorms and rings
now I'm weighing on reflexive change
I was trying, I was eighteen
I wanted to tell you, that I'm sorry
For the words that soon may exit me
And I watched you blow a million ways
I was trying, I was okay
Hey Edie, can you hear me?
Are my words transparent?
Are you even listening to me?
Yeah you make it so apparent when you just don't care
And it could break my heart, but you won't let it
I could break your heart, I won't feel better at all
'Cause you're the first one that I'd call
Not after all
You pull me through late summer air
And you grab my arm through Franklin Square
Now the bricks they shake, the stranger stale
fail to dig my heels, reflect, or scale
Our apartment, native winter
Every check that clears, every splinter
Every relapse night, every drunken flight
Every letter, every picture
