you come and visit me in fits of heavy sleep
like you're some symbol i'm supposed to identify,
some overarching theme.
but i'm not just some book you read.
i'm not instilled with such self identity.
No, i still envy all my friends, they're much better than i could ever hope to be.
but if i can't get over my own insecurities, how can i ever expect to get better?
I retreat back to that summer like a box of photographs under my bed.
I tried to forget but it doesn't work.
At least you're always there to keep me confident
to quiet down the crowds when they get too loud on me
and we meet between our coffee cups, i could just sink into that chair
there's no place i'd rather be but right here
we used to fight about our band and i was bitter when it broke up, but it's all better now.
you're my brother now.
at least to me.
so those days i think i'm drowning, you pull me up onto solid land
the empty streets frame the road and we drive
and you sing so loud, i make believe you're screaming straight at me
saying, "we'll be alright, everything is just fine cause it has to be"
