Dear present time This is it To all my soul searchers And my grave diggers Bury that shit For the signatures of the unknown subway writers And for anybody who's got good cigarette karma Pass it on This one's for my camp counselors Who taught me how to properly tell ghost stories Because I feel like I've been talking about my ghosts a lot lately And this one's for my material friends I hope that I can feel you again This one's for anybody Who woke up without a feeling or a sense of home And hates being alone Honestly I know how hard it can be To find yourself when you're lost And I mean that Seriously This one's for my teachers Who made me write a book report about the story of my life Because if I hadn't done that assignment Then I might not know how to express myself And at times like these Expressing myself is all I got It's all in my pen Our bookmarks bend And I don't know when Our story will end It's all in my pen Our bookmarks bend And so this one is for my friends Around the same time a fake doctor cured me of my Senioritis I thought forever would be gone too soon Until we leaned into a breeze that we agreed Was a leap into something deeper Barely breathing on the floor of my room Get your umbrellas out Because it's Breakup Season And for a bunch of long weekends It was all that I knew Familiar ground kicked off of my shoes Said the mornings are hard When waking up's not a cause for alarm I wrote it off saying You are my favorite miracle I'll hold your head up when these times get terrible But I know I don't have to give my prayers to you Because I know we'll make it through whatever happens Head caught up in a loss from a different day We all have memories we wish we could eliminate But I'll be fighting give or take Flip my life upside down trying to reciprocate Die for your dreams you won't even feel it Yeah and smile for the little things below Saying climb up those trees until you're comfortable leaving And when you leave be sure to let it all go Saying I don't know why Why Why This got to my mind Mind Mind Just another goodbye Bye Bye Ends a story we wrote.
