about

This is a song about the period of my life when I chose to be deliberately vapid in service of my social life. I was 25 and had a bunch of new friends and a cool denim jacket and I was just leaning in and getting lost in the sauce; partying and talking shit and carrying on and developing all of these intense, ephemeral friendships. It felt good in part because I knew it was going to be over soon. And sure enough, in a year or two everybody had moved on with their lives. The meaningful friendships hung on and we still talk every day. To be young is to cycle through different phases of this until you’re tired enough to be satisfied with a good book and your own thoughts, and that’s what being old is.

lyrics

I swore I would not // be caught alive or dead // with these cliches around my tongue // but here we are now // and it’s neither here nor there // what people know you will become // so let’s not fret or let the truth destroy our lives // we’ve got the rest of them to make up little lies // we tell in basements, kitchens, stairwells, yeah we’ll all be fine // through all life’s seasons // through heavens and hells // we made do // you even talked to God // what did She even say? // since that day you’ve been shaking // so let the things you know become the gravity // that pulls you through the floor each night so you can see // yourself torn inside out by all life’s dime-a-dozen reoccurring dreams
