Karaoké Old Friends Pinegrove

Walkin' outside labyrinthine

Over cracks along under the trees

I know this town grounded in a compass

Cardinal landed in the dogwood

I keep goin' over it over and over

My steps iterate my shame

How come every outcome's such a comedown

Lately afternoon with the shades drawn down

I kept sayin'

I just wanted to see you

Sayin What's wrong with that

Needles shakin' outlines in a compass

Every outcome's such a comedown

I knew it when I saw it

So

I did just what I wanted

So I go through with this

I knew happiness when I saw it

I saw your boyfriend at the port authority

It's a sort of fucked up place

Well so I averted my stride on a quick one

He's comin' back from goin' over to your place huh

I feel like I could forget about it

I feel like I could mellow out

I don't feel undone in a big way

There's nothin' really bad to be upset about

But

When I thought I was gettin' better I woke up on the ground

An appointment or disappointment

A setback

Oh another comedown

Oh oh

As if I needed a reminder

Oh oh

I do only what I wanna

So I go through with this

Walkin' out in the nighttime springtime

Needlin' my way home

I saw Leah on the bus a few months ago

I saw some old friends at her funeral

My steps keep splittin' my grief through these solipsistic moods

I should call my parents when I think of them

Should tell my friends when I love them

Maybe I should have gone out a bit more when you guys were still in town

I got too caught up in my own shit

How every outcome's such a comedown

And I knew it when I saw it

Oh

I did just what I wanted

So I go through with this

I knew happiness when I saw it
