The last time we talked, you told me
that 116 is lonely
but at least I was out doing what I love.
But it's empty conversations
in depressing little stations
while I wait for the next 2:50 bus.
I don't know that I love this.
I'm not so sure I love this,
but I'm going to see Bryan, we're going out to Iowa.
But I know I could've come home.
The last time we talked, you said that
you ain't never seen me so sad
as when I said I don't get the fucking point of this at all.
The occasional reaction
or what little satisfaction
comes from seeing my name written in chalk on the wall.
I don't know that I love this.
I'm not so sure I love this,
but i'm going to see Bryan, we're going out to Iowa.
But I know I should've stayed home.
I'm going to see Bryan, we're going out to Iowa,
but I know I could've come home with you.
