Business Men's Slacks

Where'd all the time go?
Yet still five months to go
Till your big presentation
Of sleeping alone
And now I have a locket
Full of promises, the bones
Of this relationship we harbored, in times long ago

When you were just a school boy
A broke socialist and all
Living in a big city
Ready to take the fall
For your parents disapproved of curtain calls left unresolved
And the guitar propped up
In the corner of your room

Ohhh

So what happened to that boy?
With no sense or poise?
With a rainbow flag pin on his backpack
And I thought he really knew the life he wanted too
But now he's stuck wearing business men's slacks
And I don't see the boy I once had

And I guess I still see him in my loved videos
As I'm scrolling for hours, proving what I already know
That you succumbed to the pressure
And you live as a ghost
And you'll say "it's just business" when calling home

And I know you still love me
But how can you really show
That you love someone
When she just talks to your shadow

Ohhh

So what happened to that boy?
With no sense or poise
With a rainbow flag pin on his backpack
And I thought he really knew the life he wanted too
But now he's stuck wearing business men's slacks
And I don't see that boy I once had

Now there's nothing wrong with wearing suits
When you put in the work, and love what you do
But you gave up your purpose to love everyone right
And it's killing you, I can see it in your eyes
Cause now you're stuck in business men's slacks
And I know you hate those pants
