Possible Portals

My life in a Marriott begs for breath of a friend or friendly stranger
Sun daggers slicing through the blinds
Head hosting ghosts of former lovers
And if I was less scared
Now would be the proper
Time to weigh one drug over the other
And I think Katie does coke
But it'd be too weird to ask
So I won't bother

Yeah every once in a while
It feels good to be a little cynical
To see every car I pass on these Maine country roads
As a possible portal
To where Craig still plays kickball
And Jaime's dose was under
And Lisa's car wasn't dismembered
On the fifth of November
Every once in a while
It feels good to think of nothing at all

Sweater weather September in Orono
Driving through U Maine
Girls own the campus quad
For football parents dot the bleachers
Kids get high underneath
Divert with burning leaves & earned applause
In front of Androscoggin Hall
My car comes to a halt
And a girl tussles her hair in a rearview mirror in a nearby car
And goddamn my heart stalls

Yeah every once in a while
It feels good to be a little cynical
To see every car I pass on these Maine country roads
As a possible portal
To where Craig still plays kickball
And Jaime's dose was under
And Lisa's car wasn't dismembered
On the fifth of November
Every once in a while
It feels good to think of nothing at all
