Griffen's Song

If this is real life
I miss my illusions
Ocean sounds on your back porch
Waitin' for you to come home each night
You say I'm too young
Laugh at my confusion
Summer break has been over now
For long enough
To mean our goodbyes

So I stay stoned
Missing California
Wish I could stay with you again
And not wake up
To thirty two and snow
Pretending to be grown
And used to it
And I say home
Is wherever each day feels new
I don't wanna make do
Workin' off these loans
Stuck in my head
Should be in your bed
Where I'm useful though

So I'm thick-headed well
You're pretty thick yourself
Forgetting how it felt
Don't make me sell you on
All the things that I know
That you knew were true
Come on you remember Sunday mornings
When we'd play Alice Phoebe Lou
With coffee warmin'
Try to pick a breakfast spot
Like it was so important
Just to skip it and stay in bed
Instead
So you could let me love you

Now I stay stoned
Missing California
Wish I could stay with you again
And not wake up
To thirty two and snow
Pretending to be grown
And used to it
And I say home
Is wherever each day feels new
I don't wanna make do
Payin' off these loans
Stuck in my head
Should be in your bed
Where I'm useful though

Well I can be the young one
Who doesn't understand
As usual
I know
And you can be the grown-up
Working on your plans
Till you get bored completely numb

So I stay stoned
Missing California
Wish I could stay with you again
And not wake up
To thirty two and snow
Pretending to be grown
And used to it
And I say home
Is wherever each day feels new
I don't wanna make do
Payin' off these loans
Stuck in my head
Should be in your bed
Where I'm useful though
