lyrics

Year three we were sitting on the couch. She asked me if I needed help fumbling with her blouse. Year three in the bathroom during class, sitting on the floor with my reflection in the glass. Monday night on my walk home I stop by the piano and confess my sins to him but he’s never impressed.

Year three we were drinking in his room, he tells me I don’t need her and hands me another brew. Year three I wake up atop my bed with a monster in my stomach and some guilt ringing in my head. Tuesday night I’m cleaning out the drawer. I find the pen that Abbie sent me in the mail.

Year three I have so much left to read. I’m constantly running from things that are faster than me. Year three in the shower after class with bruises on my body and I don’t even know why. Wednesday night I stop by the park, I swing on the swing and shout poetry at the wind but he’s never impressed.

Year three I’m ashamed to admit I sewed your photo in my palm and I’m holding on to it. Year three in his room with the mark they turned out the light but her lips found me in the dark. Thursday night I’m stumbling home. Here’s a victory: I stop myself from calling your phone.

Year three I have so little to read. I’m constantly chasing girls who are faster than me. Year three and it’s time to clean my sheets. I arrange the artifacts neatly on my desk. Friday night I’m sitting in my room alone with water in my eyes. This place has become my thrown.

I was waiting there so long that I forgot what I was waiting for. And I was waiting there so long that I forgot who I was waiting for.
