I just wanna know how it's supposed to go when everything falls apart.

You have nothing left to show but the aching in your gut, bottle shards, and broken bones

You burn up your childhood clothes. Does it make you feel alone?

I saw you there melting in the summer heat

Your bones so bare I could see past everything you say to me

Your friends seem nice, fucked up in the best way

Every single time it's so hard just to say, could you stay a while

I'll see you on weekends, I promise that I'll try again when the fall rolls around. Autumn leaves on the ground outside your apartment, on the sidewalk to my house. I heard that joke that you told, never could figure it out

I watched you grow up in a beach town. We were just kids then, desperate to be found. And our adolescence we gripped so tightly to the root of our chest. No we can't ever forget, in empty buildings I saw light pour through the holes in the roof, enveloping you. I couldn't see you in the pale light. There's still footprints on my shoulders from you standing up so tall. When you saw the whole world up there, did it make you wanna fall?
