Here is a gown that you'll never wear
Three cheers throw your caps in the air
Now you live out of boxes and bags
Now you live out of the memories you have
so take out the photographs
of fading smiles and frozen laughs
(there is no substitute)
So you broke the ceramic pot
and you watched me as my hair was cut
Tell me again how I'll meet my wife
and pour glitter on the letters you write
As economics is explained
to me and the rest of the Gang
I feel indebted too
You try to speak but your throat feels choked
He cried and held you til your shoulder was soaked
You walked with her along the railroad tracks
You talked of running off and not coming back
And there's an aching kind of void
that separates Mac and the Boys
"Let's absorb happiness"
They're just mocktails but you play along
he's telling tales and reading palms
it's getting late
Guys and gals dance in a line
say the first word that comes to mind
don't hesitate
Your rhythms off, you're half awake
I wrote you a note by the fireplace
as you agreed to chat
I wanted to go back
Can we continue to be friends?
meet me back here at three am
we'll toast the rising sun
with a champagne hole-in-one
This is the town that you lived in
This is the happiest you've ever been
Now you take all the love you had
and you trade it in for boxes and bags
They call it growing up
but I don't know if that's good enough
