about

I have no idea how to lose people except to keep wondering what they would've said next. My dad and I didn't talk for the last few years of his life. I wish we had. The last few years, I had a lot of friends who gave up. I wish they called. This song is about how waves will never know the names you can't help but remember.

lyrics

I loved the kitchens of all my friends
Every mug for whiskey, every regal pet
And I bumped the knobs on all their stoves
It wasn't my job, but I never let go

I hated the tree where you painted the door
The car where they found you wasn’t even yours
I hated the way there was nothing to say
Inside all the faces we made with your name

You could've called anybody you knew
Even the ones who can never forgive you

You told the world I feel lost
You told the world let me off
You watched the lightning take tall walks
You told the world I
Feel lost

You loved the team when they ran up the score
WD-40 in a quiet drawer
There were some nights when I would get scared
You put your hands on the back of the chair

I hated the tube that they stuck in your throat
The fist that you opened when the pain let you go
I hated the ocean with the ash in the waves
The way that the water can’t remember your name

You couldn’t call anybody you knew
Even the ones who can never forgive you

You told the world I feel lost
You told the world let me off
You watched the lightning take tall walks
You told the world I
Feel lost

And I want to tell you I see everything
Two redwood trees at the edge of the beach
I want to lie like I see everything
I see every see every see every thing
And I want to tell you I see everything
Two redwood trees at the edge of the beach
I want to lie like I see everything
I see every see every see every thing

How do I know if these secrets work?
How do I know what to tremble through?
Sweeping avocados in the alley where
I used to live and so did you
