about

this was actually written about a year ago and i posted it on tumblr and it got kinda popular

its the only good song i've ever written (so far)

lyrics

i hid in a closet
the day before i turned 16 because
somewhere, someday
you had hid in a closet too
calling the same woman 19 times
once for every year you lived to regret
in the course of one week

i remember my voice hushed w tears on my face
from the football game
where i wanted to leave
so i could empty myself out

my voice kept cracking
and she couldnt hear me most of the time
but i still mentioned you

and she thought i was your girlfriend
which wasnt close to true

i loved you

i loved you more than myself

and thats why i was there,
so i waited like you did
(we can always wait)

and i slept well
