Valley

Close your eyes, and it's ninety-five
Drinking vodka in an attic
Strumming songs on a pawn shop guitar
Or bumming smokes outside the mall

Come pick me up, and
Let's get out of town
Go to the ocean
Go to the city
Do anything that's outside the norm

They're all married and have kids
You weren't kidding with this shit
Pain in all our hands and wrists

We just went to bed one night
Awoke to jobs and bills and bullshit
Quit smoking, quit drinking
We don't party on the weekends

Come pick me up, and
Let's get out of town
Go to the forest
Go to an island
Do anything we haven't done

You weren't kidding with this shit
We aren't quite ready for this
Pain in both our knees and hips

Got up one day and we were 40
Breathing life into existence
spending time on finding face cream
Staying up and binging true crime
Highlight of the week

Come pick me up, and
Let's get out of town
Go to the mountains
Go to the desert
Do anything that we wanna do

Do you remember
That ford in the valley
Where my friend took me
When the guy who's dead now hurt me
She made me get out and wade in the water
Saying, "you'll be okay. someday, this'll just be a memory"

Do you remember
That smell in the valley
Where we used to drive around,
Smoking blunts, blaring music
That we thought would scare the old's
Who would never get it, they would never understand
Who we were going to be
