Driving home from something useless

Your Bon Iver song started playing in the car

I had the volume turned to max and I opened up the gas

To 65 on the two lane county road where I've imagined us (but not us) so many times before

And every time I think I break a little

On the inside of my eyelids but you're fading from my mind

And every time I blink I lose a little more of what you mean to me

Can't you see?

When he saw your heart grow fonder and he told me

I knew I needed to do something or I'd begin to waste away

But singing to myself, sending smoke signals fix it temporarily

So I concede

To hear her call me sweetheart like you did

Gets me thinking to myself I might be better off alone

But loneliness is all I ever sing about so why're you even here,

My dear?

And every time I think I break a little

The impression of what could have been is fading from my mind

And every time I blink I lose a little more of what you mean to me

Can't you see?

I'm stuck again, I don't know what to say

Writing to fit the hypotheses of Jens and Dave

I'll type my texts in notes and come back later so I know that I sound sane

Why do I feel this way?

The internet has stolen all my thoughts

Can't formulate lyrical ideas; may as watch porn instead

And turning off the light means nothing at all inside my head

I said

And every time I think I break a little

The sun is warm but your human form keeps fading from my mind

And every time I blink I lose a little more of what you mean to me

I'm falling but the water's really deep

Reaching back to less abstract notions of you and me

And there's still waves on the surface of the sea
