What You Wrote

In my apartment somewhere between my skull Lives a man who broke my bones And he tells a story of someone who ran away I've been trying to do the same It's a mess to shed skin and a mind that is blue And it's so hard to leave until you do I love this city but I don't belong I've been trying to learn what you wrote in the sun "Don't forget about home. When the the blackbirds have flown Move on." When I was leaving you held my arm and I held yours too Took me years to climb down the walls of my youth Now I'm going steady away from it all We were liars who couldn't be apart It's a mess to shed skin and a mind that is blue And it's so hard to leave until you do I love this city but I don't belong I've been trying to learn what you wrote in the sun "Don't forget about home When the blackbirds have flown Don't forget about home Move on."
