lyrics

all remember of high school
are the songs i listened to
the movies i loved
and the books i half-read

in five years time i wonder what will make me feel nostalgic
maybe it'll be the punk shows
or the people i've ghosted
or the men who've talked over me
maybe it'll be the poems i've written
or the songs i've sung
or the post sunset heart to hearts

every time i add a new decoration to my wall
i think about how soon i'll be taking it down
five months will fly by
so i might as well try
to enjoy the time and space i have while it's here
and it's my home

all i remember of community college
are the round corners i cried in
when failure felt like the only thing i could achieve
and the friends i held onto
and the beers we'd chug before our physics labs

in five years time i wonder what will make me feel nostalgic
maybe it'll be the punk shows
or the people i've ghosted
or the men who've talked over me
maybe it'll be the poems i've written
or the songs i've sung
or the post sunset heart to hearts

every time i add a new decoration to my body
i think about how i've made forever feel a little more tangible
five years will fly by
so i might as well try
to enjoy the time and space i have while it's here
and it's my home

all i remember of waking up next to you
was your putrid morning breath
and the way your hair fell over your eyes
and the sense of urgency that quickly changed to dread
as you tried to disguise your bragging rights

in five years time i wonder what will make you feel nostalgic
maybe it'll be Garneau's combat juice
or the people who've ghosted you
or the folks you've never bothered to listen to
maybe it'll be the poems you've read
or the songs you've heard
or the post sunset heart to hearts

every time you add a new tally to your wall
i hope you know that we can't wait to see you fall
five hundred years could fly by
but there would never be enough time
for me to scrub off the remnants of you
so i might as well try
to enjoy the time and place i have while it's here
and it's my home

this is my home.
