We Left Home To Live By The River

about

The first two tracks are mates—and were created with one another mind.

lyrics

“You were pulled away; you were waiting on it all to evaporate—like in the back of a car on the way to the hospital or in a college bar with no perfume on—like you were covered by a drop cloth in the coat closet off your parents' den, where you stole the show—and you were beautiful—hidden bright and bold at your dad's memorial. I should've stayed awake, too, but you were past the point where anyone could save you, and I wish that I could say you were anything more than a wolf at my door or an itching for these steady hands to pin your wrists or bandage them. I was the cold compress you held to your warm abscess, and we were barely friends when you told me this, you said, ‘I have so much love inside me I might just explode.’ I have so much love inside me I might just explode.”
