Old Voice Memo from High School in the House That Greece Built

February 1st, 2021, 12:37 AM
My friend and i talked about snow plows
And I got to hear one outside my room
And then we talked about television
And being happy
And gender roles
And whatever came to our heads

February 1st, 2021, 12:55 AM
I said goodnight, and talked to my mom
And i don't remember what about
But i do remember that i turned off my phone
And closed the door to my room, and i missed my friends

I flipped over multiple times trying to get comfortable
And was both hot and cold at the same time
So i gave up sleeping, but kept trying to check my clock

I kept thinking about the future
About whether or not we'd move far away for college
If it's possible to live off letters you send
And not shape a life around somebody other than
Yrself

I got to walk out on ice in my blue low top sneakers
And you sat on the shore playing yr
Favorite songs through yr silver speakers
And we made jokes about a movie
Where a character falls through ice
So even though i took the chance
I didn't wanna have to pay the price
Of whatever god was watching
You watching me walk on water
Of living life with a purpose that is
Broader than just surviving day by day
Than just surviving day by day
Than just surviving day by day

The echo when you hit the ice is like the beating of my heart
The echo when you hit the ice is like the beating of my heart
The echo when you hit the ice is like the beating of my heart
The beating of my heart
The echo when you hit the ice is like the beating of my heart
The beating of my heart
The echo when you hit the ice is like the beating of my heart
The beating of my heart
The echo when you hit the ice is like the beating of my heart

February 1st, 2021, 1:27 AM
I stared out the window for a half an hour
And i talked to myself, and i knew no one was listening
But i also knew that i was only human, so i had to try to reach out
And so i opened my window, and tried to touch the snow
And i was just so close to you
We were so close
