Mississippi Air

I drove my brother's truck
From the pool
Lavender bikini in the hot air
But the wind was cool (was cool)

Tug on the sleeves of the button-up
That I wore when I met your friends
Some things you don't ever think will end

And I don't miss you In the city
But I miss you when I'm here
I was saying you were pretty
Sufjans Stevens on the pier

Way before 23
Real estate and grown-up things
Felt our feelings
Like my hair felt the humidity

I drive home sometimes
Just to feel like that, just to bring me back
And I swear to the Mississippi air
That I can breathe again, until I leave again

Poetry videos at landing way
You FaceTime my family by the lake
Couple Band-Aids, far away
Harry said, "It's not same"

'Cause now you're 23
School degrees and grown-up things
But I still see us sneaking into the symphony

I drive home sometimes
Just to feel like that, just to bring me back
And I swear to the Mississippi air
That I can breathe again, until I leave again

And I don't miss you In the city
But I miss you when I'm here
In my lavender bikini
Right beside you on the pier

Oh, I drive home sometimes
Just to feel like that, just to bring me back
And I swear to the Mississippi air
That I can breathe again, until I leave again
