As a wave
On the beach,
There's a breeze
Crashing through these trees.
It's these winds
That have kept me here,
And it's these winds
That take me back fifteen years.
Driving east
Of Thirty-Five
With the windows down.
And that car
In fifth gear
Just to feel alive.
And these roads
That you've known
Since you were young,
Yet they're so old.
Yeah, these roads
They show their grit,
When each bump
Makes the track skip.
Listening
To all those bands
That are so
Much better than you.
And let's be clear,
While we're here,
They are still so much better thank you.
Like,
I think you've bought
Orange Rhyming Dictionary
At least three times
Over three years.
But, no matter,
You'd gladly buy it
Three times over
For how it makes you feel,
And deal.
And you go "'oh wow'".
You used to play to emulate,
But now you play to relate.
It's the same reasons,
'Cause you're that same person.
I hope you're better off for it.
I hope you're not worse off for not realizing it sooner.
