lyrics

I guess I was a bit confused
I hadn’t really heard from you since we were fifteen
and you called me
said that you had given up
cincinnati wasn’t much like your hometown
you were so, so sad to be alive

oh and you were moving in with your dad
I guess you got along better
or, maybe, if he didn’t understand you-
at least sometimes he tried to

the cold was a change from south carolina
and your mom had the light sucked out of her
when she caught him banging out his problems with the girl
working overnights at the KWIK mart
and your grandpa called
and encouraged her to move back in with them in ohio

called me from a mini-mart
told me that your brothers car suddenly broke down
from a payphone

asked if I was still in west end
told me that you’d need a ride and I could tell
you’d been crying

oh and you were back in town for a funeral
your friend Rebecca
I didn’t know the name but you insisted that I knew her
the cold wrapped around you
like I would have if you’d stayed

I played guitar those days
and you would sing your cryptic poetry
and you lingered by the window
when I dropped you off in Oakley

left a piece of yourself behind
and I pray to it sometimes
