lyrics

The winter ripped into the northeast
Oppressive conditions, packed ice on the streets
And we all waited with baited breath
For a change in the weather, to feel warm again

But now we’re living in a
Good ol’ fashioned New England sweat hell
Aggressively humid and seemingly endless
We take refuge inside air conditioned rooms
Listen to records, sleep away our afternoons

There’s a story of a summer spent inside
In isolation told by your tan lines
Always level-headed and empathetic
Playing therapist to fair-weather friends
They’re so vacant
Cobwebs in ribcages
Their problems are petty
They’re vapid and thoughtless

We used to agonize over the miles
That separated our states
But now we’re old enough to realize
The worst kind of distance is from inches away

There’s a story of a summer spent inside
In isolation told by your tan lines
Always level-headed and empathetic
playing therapist to fair-weather friends
They’re so vacant
Cobwebs in ribcages
Their problems are petty
(You love them selflessly)
They’re vapid and thoughtless
(And they’re leaving you empty)

I’m starting to think we’re all ex-friends and former lovers
Recovering from one another and fucking up is just inevitable
“I wish I saw what my friends see in me”
I used to rot under blankets thinking the same things
My teenage eyes wouldn’t recognize me
