lyrics

I pattern my ashtray like calligraphy
like college poetics I want to throw it away

‘cause I’m older now
and I can put this down
like the few and the proud
am I stronger now?

somebody surprised me when he climbed in my head
I overreacted I didn’t know what it meant

but I’m older now
and I’ve been let down
and I’m queerer now
would I hold him now?

she cut out with autumn through the crack in our door
all the boxes and bare walls it's like I’ve seen it before

and I’m older now
I'll push on somehow
but the sleepless nights
catch up to me now

we’re older now
and we love this town
but our chests spilled out
does the trying count?

Does the trying count?
