about

I was riding my bike round in platform shoes / Hanging out in basements and breaking curfews / Planning to move overseas soon as I turned 18 / Like new dresses we tried on dreams / Maggie was gonna work for the magazines / Me, I picked up guitar and cut holes in my jeans // CHORUS: We wanted answers fast as the future but the future comes on it's own time / We wanted songs to make us feel like all our loneliness was there for a reason // I’d run off and take the train downtown / Or drive to the state line with the windows down / I’m good when I’m gone, guess I’ve always been that way / Now I keep expecting to run out of road / Find the kind of love to make me want to stay at home / But I’ll always be moving if I’m waiting to be asked to stay // CHORUS // Everything has changed but nothing has changed at all / I still ride my bike but without platform shoes / After half a dozen loves of my life / I’m still learning how to choose / I’m still learning how to lose // Subdivisions sprung up like clover / Every year when the summer was over / We believed we could start with a blank slate / Maybe these stories are written in our cells / And we cling to the illusion we can change ourselves/ Maybe I loved you since I met you and I’ll continue to wait // CHORUS //
